The report, by researchers at DappGambl, found that 69,795 of 73,257 collections it examined are now worth no Ethereum, leaving their estimated 23 million holders with worthless investments. “This daunting reality should serve as a sobering check on the euphoria that has often surrounded the NFT space,” the report said. “Amid stories of digital art pieces selling for millions and overnight success stories, it is easy to overlook the fact that the market is fraught with pitfalls and potential losses.” The researchers also found that there isn’t enough demand to keep up with the current supply. Of the collections studied, almost four out of five remain unsold, underlining the imbalance between the creation of new NFTs and the actual demand for them in the current market, the report said.
