The incredible boom of 2021 put crypto art (non-fungible token) at the center of everyone's attention. Record-breaking sales, constant media coverage, and widespread adoption by all kinds of people and organizations – it felt like a whole new way of owning art was here to stay. But things are a little different in the NFT market future.

Art enthusiasts and market observers, take note! Art Basel and UBS have finally unveiled the highly anticipated Art Market Report 2024. Authored by the esteemed Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, this annual analysis provides an in-depth review of the international art market. 

While the meteoric rise of NFTs in 2021 captured headlines, 2024 paints a more nuanced picture of the NFT and art market. Gone are the days of frenzied bidding wars and overnight success stories. Instead, the market has undergone a period of consolidation, focusing on long-term value and utility.

Since 2014, when NFTs, also known as non-fungible tokens, first emerged on the digital landscape, these unique digital assets have gradually established themselves as a valuable investment opportunity. By providing a blockchain-based transaction ledger, a unique item linked to the token, and immutable proof of ownership on it, they have revolutionized the way organizations engage their audience in various areas, including art collecting.
