Final thoughts
Cryptocurrencies are on the decline and it is starting to show in digital collectible markets. According to a recent study, non-fungible token (NFT) sales have dropped by 42% in the past week.
This could be due to a number of factors, including market saturation and the overall crypto downturn. While this may be bad news for sellers, it could present an opportunity for buyers who are looking for a good deal on digital collectibles.
So, if you’re in the market for NFTs, now might be a good time to start shopping around. Who knows, you might just find that perfect piece for your collection at a bargain price.
