The headline-grabbing digital phenomena undeniably represent a new facet of the crypto realm. Despite being inherently speculative, the NFT market has hit a new milestone in the third quarter of 2021.

According to Mason Nystrom, the research analyst of Messari, the non-fungible token market officially blasted past $10 billion in terms of secondary sales combined across diverse cohorts that encompass gaming, PFPs [profile pics], sports, and collectibles.

Revealing the same, Nystrom commented,

“Ethereum’s NFT market dominance reached an all-time low in Feb 2021 when Flow’s NBA Top Shot encapsulated much of the market. Recently, even amidst high fees, Ethereum has regained its NFT dominance.”

Polygon has also witnessed initial growth mostly emanating from the popular horse racing game, dubbed ‘Zed Run.’ Even amidst high fees. Even Ethereum continues to enjoy the leading position, other blockchains such as Flow and Axie’s Ronin are not far behind. As a matter of fact, these networks have started to rake in stronger shares of the non-fungible token market. Besides, other blockchains such as Solana have also made garnered significant traction and is likely to continue to develop sound ecosystems.
