Factors Fueling The NFT Market Cap Surge

The significant growth in the non-fungible token market is associated with a surge in the crypto market, which has left the flagship crypto Bitcoin (BTC) rallying above the $120,000 levels and Ethereum retesting its initial all-time highs. At the time of publishing, Ethereum is trading just a few inches from its initial ATH of $4800.Today, the rally is backed by institutional inflows, global adoption, legal clarity, and supply shocks.

Notably, the crypto market and the non-fungible token market have a strong association like that of a mother and child. Unlike cryptocurrencies, NFT users cannot exchange one NFT for another, meaning they need liquidity from crypto assets like Ethereum or Bitcoin. Therefore, in most cases, the factors affecting the price of crypto like Bitcoin and Ethereum directly impact the trading activities in the global NFT market.
