The NFT marketplace is a sector of the crypto ecosystem that saw exponential growth in the past year. But as sales have decreased in recent months, blue-chip NFT holders are looking for other opportunities to scale.

NFT global sales volume hit $4.6 billion in January, but declined almost 50% to $2.4 billion by the end of March, according to data from NFT data aggregator CryptoSlam.
