Bring on the Low-Cost NFTs

Bring on the Low-Cost NFTs

I have been thinking a lot about the NFT market recently, partly because I am baffled by some of the rates people are prepared to pay for specific ownership signatures on specific blockchains. I just cannot work up to about a pixelated monkey. Notably, even among crypto enthusiasts, I am in the vast majority on that issue. According to DappRadar, just 31 traders traded 18 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs in the previous 24 hours. That is a rather small market. It may even describe as illiquid.

However, there are sectors of the NFT market where activity is both liquid and low-cost that makes significantly more sense to me. According to DappRadar statistics, Axie Infinity is the busiest hive of NFT activity, with 56,099 traders doing 88,027 transactions in the past day. The second-busiest NFT grouping, NBA Top Shot, had 16,113 traders and 27,929 total transactions in the past day, but Axie’s universe is seeing a multiple of that. 

Bring on the Low-Cost NFTs

Recently become interested in the NFT-based market, mostly because of the fees individuals pay for certain ownership signatures on specific blockchains. I cannot too work up over a pixelated monkey. Notably, even among crypto-favorited folks, I am in the vast majority. Only traders traded autographs for a boat club in the previous hours, according to DappRadar. That is a limited market. It may even describe as illiquid. However, there are regions of the NFT market where activity is liquid and less expensive, which makes more sense to me, I believe we can divide the NFT industry into several groups to better understand what we are seeing:

  • NFTs that extract value from the real world and transform it into a digital thing known as value-financing NFT, Consider a famous sports event
  • Low-volume picture sets that gain digital cachet, resulting in low-volume yet expensive digital products known as value-defending NFTs
  • NFTs that unleash an activity and are not intentionally supply limited referred to as value-generating NFTs

Axie Infinity, which has seen traders perform trades in the last day, is the busiest hive of NFT activity, according to Dappradar data. The second-busiest NFT grouping, NBA Top Shot with traders and total transactions, had a multiple of trading activity in the last day in Axie’s environment.
