With a major milestone about to be reached in total all-time volume, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have the potential to become a trillion-dollar market one day, industry insiders argue.

NFT is at the verge of hitting a major milestone – USD 100 million NFTs sold, noted Ryan Sean Adams, founder of crypto investment company Mythos Capital and creator of the Bankless program.
At the time of writing (9:10 UTC), according to NonFungible:
- the total lifetime trading volume is USD 99,474,415
- average monthly trading volume is USD 2,618,114
- average monthly price is USD 38.4.
We live in “the earliest of early days,” said Adams in a recent Bankless post.
“NFTs will be a trillion-dollar market someday. That means USD 999.9 billion in future opportunity. We’re just .01% of the way in,” he added.
Adams named Collectibles, Gaming, Worlds, Art, and Culture as NFT categories, stating that “there’s likely billion-dollar opportunities in each of these categories.”
Andrew Steinwold, Partner at digital asset fund Polynexus Capital and founder of Zima Red podcast, added that the numbers we see today “show just how early we are in a market that one day could be worth trillions of dollars.” Given that the exact time of birth of NFTs is debated, Steinwold took it to be December 2017, arguing that trade volumes had been minimal before that.
Over time, the NFT market has seen a steady increase, he said, adding that about 18,500 wallets have either purchased or sold an NFT.
“Going forward, I expect more differentiated NFT categories to arise and NFT market activity to increase dramatically,” Steinwold added.
