Analysis by Experts

According to "The Block", Nick Ruck, the director of LVRG Research, believes that the increase in NFT demand is attributed to the recent bullish market for altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and the strengthening of investors' risk appetite.

Furthermore, there is a view that traders are purchasing well-known NFTs like CryptoPunks due to the speculation that NFTs are still undervalued and there is a possibility of the next wave coming. Additionally, it is predicted that the current bull market may last longer compared to the past year.

On the other hand, Mr. Min Jung, a research analyst at Presto Research, stated that the bullish market for cryptocurrencies is affecting NFTs, while also showing a cautious stance regarding the current situation.

Mr. Jung stated, "Current NFT transactions are centered around past collections like CryptoPunks, rather than newly issued NFTs. We have not yet entered a full-fledged NFT season."
