04/09/2024 2024 Report Finds 96% of NFTs Declared ‘Dead’ Amid Market Instability

A recent report by nftevening.com reveals a troubling state of the non-fungible token (NFT) market, with 96% of NFTs now considered “dead.” The analysis highlights the high unprofitability rate among holders and the fleeting lifespan of most NFTs.

NFT Sector Faces Uncertain Path as 2024 Bull Run Bypasses It

As highlighted in nftevening.com’s 2024 report, the once-celebrated future of digital ownership, the NFT market, is currently grappling with significant hurdles. The report scrutinized over 5,000 NFT collections and around 5 million transactions to assess the present state of the market.

A staggering 96% of NFTs were deemed “dead,” meaning they exhibited zero trading volume, minimal 7-day sales, and were practically non-existent on social media platforms like X. This unsettling revelation underscores the market’s volatility and the uncertain standing of numerous NFT projects.

2024 Report Finds 96% of NFTs Declared ‘Dead’ Amid Market Instability

Additionally, the report sheds light on the financial strain experienced by NFT investors, with more than 43% of holders finding themselves in the red. On average, these investors have faced a 44.5% dip in their investments. Notably, the lifespan of an NFT now averages just 1.14 years, which is noticeably shorter than that of traditional crypto asset projects.

This brevity indicates NFTs’ struggle to retain long-term value, further contributing to the market’s overall instability. Bitcoin.com News reported that NFT sales have fallen by 41.36% compared to July, with July’s digital collectible sales being 36.6% lower than those in June.

Moreover, nftevening.com’s analysis highlights a stark contrast in the profitability of different NFT collections. While some, like the Azuki collection, have thrived thanks to strong community engagement and savvy marketing, others, such as the Pudgy Penguins collection, have plummeted, with holders suffering a 97% drop in value.

The future of NFTs remains uncertain, leaving us to wonder if they’ve truly reached their lowest point. While other areas within the crypto and blockchain space have experienced growth during the 2024 bull run, NFTs have unfortunately trended in the opposite direction, with a steady decline since the year’s onset. According to Cryptoslam.io metrics, however, NFT sales have settled a total value of $66.128 billion in sales.

Mahalo! My name's Kitty #449613. I once peed on King Henry VIII's cat. They had it coming. When my owner isn't watching, I steal their brooches and use them for litter paper. I'm not sorry. Will you be the pickles to my marmalade?

José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
