Top NFT marketplaces

NFTs became one of the biggest stories in crypto in 2021. But in 2022 it looks like the NFT market is losing steam. The NFT global sales which stood at a record over $4.62 billion in January 2022, slumped to over $2.99 billion in February and further nearly halved to $2.44 billion in March.

That means the NFT market is ready to return to growth and that’s because the NFT industry is some of the biggest and fastest-growing industries in the digital arena in the most important NFT Marketplace. If you missed riding the last NFT wave, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to invest in some NFTs.

Note: 7 NFT Marketplaces are built on very fast and cheap blockchains like Polygon, FLOW, WAX, BSC, and Solana. This means even though the majority of users trade NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, a shift toward alternative blockchains has already taken place. 

1) Opensea

OpenSea was the first one of NFT Marketplaces to go viral. In 2017, it launched its beta version. But, not until October 2019, OpenSea have 10,000 traders on Ethereum, and at present over 1.2 million traders use OpenSea. That’s because in Q3-Q4 of 2021 OpenSea integrated Polygon to support lost cost and high-speed NFT minting. 

Overall, 87% of the total volume in the whole sector is executed in OpenSea, and if you need a super simple guide that could help you. But, which kind of NFT collections had a tremendous success? For example:

  • Collectibles
