Like Alexander the Great, the NFTs are now embarking on a conquest of the vast cryptocurrency empire. Beeple phenomena and Cryptokitties to support it, this new crypto niche is attracting more and more celebrity attention.
The whole world shaken by the NFTs
The data recently released by Google Trends (December 2021) relating to the term “NFT” surprised many. Indeed, research concerning it seems outdated by those associated with the word “crypto”. For analysts, this index reflects a great success of the NFT after its promotion as “word of the year” by Collins last November.
Everything seems to indicate that public interest in digital collectibles has increased significantly. And that there has been a collective awakening towards them at the level of the cryptographic community. This phenomenon would be at the origin of an astronomical turnover achieved by OpenSea: more than 10 million dollars on the counter.
The same statistics suggest that this research on non-fungible tokens has a fairly wide geographic distribution. The top 5 established by Google Trends is indeed honored by Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey and Russia. In terms of cryptocurrency research, the results show an increase in interest from Americans, Indians, Australians and Canadians.
All the players are doing it
Almost all digital platforms blame this massive increase in demand for NFT. The profiles of the actors also seem disparate. They can range from OEMs like Nike and Adidas, whose plans to conquer the Metaverse had just been presented to the general public.
Celebrities also don’t want to miss the NFT train. This is the case of Russian mixed martial arts player Khabib Nurmagomedov, Hollywood actress Mila Kunis, American rapper Snoop Dog and Bollywood actor Salman Khan. To show their interest in this avant-garde concept, these personalities began to offer their own NFT collections to the general public.
It is also worth mentioning the breakthrough of NFT-based video games in the gaming world. Conveniences like the ability to use collectibles on these gaming platforms are contributing to this rush.
The usefulness of NFTs is no longer contested given the issues associated with them, whether on the side of creators, owners, etc. The disappearance of issues related to piracy, copyright and the need for physical presence are certainly boosting their popularity.
