Dozens of NFT platforms were launched in the last couple of years as giants like Apple, Reddit, Starbucks, Winamp, and MetaMask entered the NFT field. The NFT sphere was one of the most resilient areas of crypto. It remained more or less intact during the coldest bear market the crypto history has witnessed, while some areas like Sports NFTs recorded impressive growth rates.

A recent report estimates that the NFT industry will grow steadily in the African and Middle Eastern regions during the 2022-2028 period, with a Compound Annual Growth rate of 34.3%. The current NFT spend value, which is at $3.42 billion, on the other hand, is likely to see $18.22 billion by 2028
