The same crypto group also has a presale, now selling super fast. The $WSM presale has already raised over $12 million in weeks. The Wall St Bulls’ remarkable performance indicates investors are still bullish on NFTs. Despite the recent fallout, the NFT market showcases the strong potential to stand back on its feet.
