BWB2022 Day 3  First Mover Stage 앤디 리안Anndy Lian

BWB 2022, hosted by Busan Metropolitan City was held at BEXCO for 3 days from Oct. 27th (Thu.) to the 29th (Sat).

With the theme of “Blockchain, City and Life”, as an extension of last year’s NFT Busan 2021, BWB 2022 featured conferences for the advancement of the blockchain industry and provide a space to obtain insight as well as to share information.

Anndy Lian, Book Author of NFT: From Zero to Hero presented his views on Trends Shaping the Future of NFT.

In his speech, he reminded all to go back to basics.

1. The 5 P’s of Marketing – Product, Price, Promotion, Place and People – are key marketing elements used to position a business strategically. Most of us, whilst still understanding what makes an NFT valuable, have forgotten that these are also the key elements for an NFT project to succeed. The industry is filled with people who are focusing on short-term hypes and price pumps. This is more obvious when the market is bullish; all kinds of projects get a price push upward no matter what you launch and draw.

He went on by saying that the regulation of NFT is a must, and we need to understand its importance.

2. As we can see, the market for NFTs is still growing, and it will take some time until an appropriate regulatory framework for NFTs is put in place. Having said that, governments worldwide have already begun developing NFT norms and standards, proving that they are seriously interested in these digital assets.

Additionally, you should be aware that the phenomenal success of NFTs will undoubtedly result in fraudulent activities. For this reason, it is becoming more and more crucial to conduct your research before purchasing or investing in NFT collections or projects.

3. Lastly, he also hoped that the general public and enthusiasts of NFT should understand what the market is like. Do not just be fooled by fake statistics. He cited NFT wash trading as an example.

Wash trading makes it difficult for non-fungible token enthusiasts to gauge genuine market interest in NFT collections. It also inflates and skews the amount of trading in marketplaces, misleading analysts about what’s going on on trading platforms.

Monthly NFT sales fall below US$1 billion for first time in 12 months

Monthly NFT sales fall below US$1 billion for first time in 12 months

Crypto industry sales are slumping, but it’s not just hedge funds and lenders that have been hit hard by the crypto winter. The NFT industry has also begun to feel the chill.

The troubles at crypto hedge funds and lenders were a center of attention in June, but business in the non-fungible token (NFT) market also got hit, with monthly sales dipping below US$1 billion for the first time in 12 months, according to NFT data aggregators CryptoSlam.

For context, June last year was the same month that Axie Infinity exploded in popularity, putting NFTs and play-to-earn gaming on the map in the process.

Plummeting crypto prices share some of the blame for the poor NFT sales, but unique monthly buyers in June also fell almost 50% from a high of more than 1 million in January and now stand at less than 600,000 for the first time since July 2021.

In another telling sign, the floor price for a Bored Ape Yacht Club — one of the biggest NFT collections — fell below US$100,000 for the first time in over a year in mid-June to a low of US$86,277. That’s almost an 80% plunge from a high of more than US$400,000 in late May.

“The NFT market has not been immune to the crypto market (and business) turbulence and when coupled with [traditional finance] downturn — in particular the tech stocks crash — it is a perfect storm for loss of confidence,” Jonathon Miller, Australian managing director of crypto exchange Kraken, told Forkast in shared written commentary.

The 70% drop this year in the price of Ether, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, also influenced NFT trading, as it’s the native token of Ethereum, the most popular blockchain for hosting NFTs. Ether prices traded around US$1,055 on Monday in Asia.

However, after a volatile few weeks, crypto prices held relatively steady over the weekend, with all major coins fluctuating no more than 1% in the 24 hours through Monday afternoon in Asia.

Bitcoin held steady around US$19,300 over the weekend after dropping below US$19,000 for the first time since December 2020 on Friday to change hands at US$19,133 at press time. Amid this NFT market downturn, Kraken is set to join the likes of Binance and Coinbase by opening the waitlist for its own NFT marketplace set for full release in the next few months.

“The seeming collapse of closed book lending businesses may be viewed in the long run as a reminder that open transparent infrastructure is ultimately the foundation upon which a new wave of digital financial tools will be built,” Miller said.

“The projects and businesses that stay as true to this as possible are the ones that can weather the storm,” he said.

Another way NFT marketplaces or exchanges can stand out from the crowd is by specializing and offering unique services, for instance by focusing on sports-based NFTs, according to Anndy Lian, Chief Digital Advisor, Mongolian Productivity Organization, and a blockchain author.

“I think the NFT market could recover faster than the crypto original market,” said Lian, highlighting partnership deals between Binance and Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo as a sign of what’s to come.

“All these moves, which cost perhaps hundreds of millions, are telling us that this will be a big strategy,” he added. “We cannot just depend on what you see in crypto native; you need to bring in new blood.”
