Is there still hope for NFTs? Study shows there’s still potential

Knight Frank said transactions hit US$4.7b in the first quarter of 2023.

The future of non-fungible tokens in the asset market may be uncertain after crypto assets remain volatile but Knight Frank experts said there is still something to be said for the broader art world’s confidence in the utility and reach of NFTs.

In a statement, Knight Frank said they produced by well-regarded digital and generative artists are still selling for decent sums of money.

Transactions reached US$4.7b in the first quarter of 2023, compared to just US$1.9b in the previous three months, according to sector analyst DappRadar.

However, this was still a long way off the US$12.6b scored in the first quarter of 2022.

Even the million-dollar-plus prices regularly paid for single Bored Ape Yacht Club editions by celebrities such as Justin Bieber seem a distant memory.

“But NFTs produced by well-regarded digital and generative artists are still selling for decent sums of money,” said Knight Frank.

Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
