With 24/7 trading, traders can manage their…

Once hailed as the shining future of Web3, NFTs have lost much of their appeal. Since 2021, their growth has taken a sharp downturn, with their market capitalization plummeting by more than 90% in just three years. At the start of 2025, there was still some hope for a rebound, but that optimism quickly faded. In February, trading volume fell by 50%, dropping to $498 million. Is this just a temporary setback in the crypto market, or a sign of an irreversible decline? The public’s lack of interest in non-fungible tokens is not just a passing trend. In January, sales…
