The NFT Market Prediction

As we enter a new month, NFTs are proving they’re more than just digital art collectibles. They’re powering real-world applications, shaping industries, and redefining digital ownership. In April, we saw Courtyard, one of the fastest-growing collectibles startups, securely tokenizing physical collectibles like cards, sneakers, watches, and more into NFTs. As NFTs get more use cases, they will likely retest another bull run bigger than the historic 2021 NFT market bull run.
