Troy Warren for CNT #NFT
Last year, the popularity of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, skyrocketed, with record-breaking, multimillion-dollar sales and celebrities such as musician Shawn Mendes, celebrity Paris Hilton, and former first lady Melania Trump joining on board.
According to a recent estimate from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis Inc., about $41 billion in bitcoin was paid to two types of Ethereum smart contracts related to NFT markets and collections between the beginning of 2021 and mid-December.
According to Maddie Kennedy, a Chainalysis representative, the metric revises an estimate the business presented in a December report on NFTs that was based on data through mid-October.
