Compared to the common sentiment that NFTs have surged in popularity, the daily trading volume shows buyers are now least interested in investing money in NFTs.

The falling crypto prices have brought so much loss to NFT holders because an NFT that cost millions of dollars a year ago, is now only worth a few thousand.

The recent reports show traders are now more interested in buying cheap NFTs instead of blue-chip NFTs, which might indicate a drastic change in the digital collectible trends.

The NFT market and OpenSea are expected to recover after BTC prices show a bullish movement.
