According to Cointelegraph, analysts and industry leaders believe that cryptocurrencies and NFTs can help investors protect their purchasing power in an era of currency depreciation. Raoul Pal, founder of Global Macro Investor, states that investing in digital assets is becoming increasingly important in times of currency devaluation.
Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard believes that NFTs and art are becoming diversification tools for the wealthy, while for investors lower on the wealth curve, the NFT segment is about speculation on future returns.
Blockchain expert Anndy Lian states that the widespread adoption of art NFTs depends on the scalability and security of blockchain networks. Beeple's NFT artwork was auctioned for $69 million.
CryptoPunks' current floor price is 46 ETH, down 59% from its peak in 2021. Yehudah Petscher from CryptoSlam expects the NFT market to recover in early 2026, but it will not replicate the frenzy of 21/22.
