Since the NFT market’s peak on 31 Jan, more than half of its unique active buyers and sellers have left.

“I imagine a lot of people jumped in after the large price increases last year and may not have seen the profit they expected,” John Thetford, a 31-year old retail investor who got into NFTs last year, told Yahoo Finance.To be sure, total transactions this year could outpace last year’s $43 billion even if monthly totals remain in line with March. That’s largely because investors spent $20.4 billion, nearly half as much as all of 2021, in the first two months of 2022.

It closed a $450 million seed round that earned it a post-money valuation worth $4 billion. And finally, it released a trailer detailing plans of building its own NFT-fueled metaverse over the coming years.
