NFTs drive blockchain investment

In 2021, venture capitalists invested almost $2 bln in NFT projects, on the non-fungible tokens market.

Compared to last year, financing for such projects surged by more than 6,500%. Investment in this sector peaked in the third quarter, when investors channeled about $1.3 bln towards it.

Almost half of that amount went to European players. The biggest deal on that market was worth $22 mio, an increment of 450% year-on-year.

Investments in the NFT segment, among other factors, are driving the global blockchain market growth. As Invest Foresight wrote earlier, by the end of September 2021, the blockchain market received $15 bln from investors, or 384% more than for the entire last year (according to CB Insights).

The market is seeing a powerful investment boom, after total investment in the industry barely exceeded $3 bln in January-December 2020.

The US and Asian markets are contributing to the growth as well. Over the past quarter, these regions attracted investments in the amount of $4.3 bln. On the American market alone, investment climbed by more than 1,000%.

NFTs based on Yury Aratovsky’s cartoons are available through bidding here: Binance NFT. The auction is open to all Binance users. Binance NFT Marketplace uses the same user account system as Binance.com. New users will need to create an account on Binance.com first.

This is only background information about the NFTs. This is not an advertising of digital financial assets, or a recommendation to perform any actions.
