NFTs have been called the next big thing in the crypto world and are revolutionizing several industries. Read on to know more about how they are changing crypto investment and how you can start investing in NFTs.Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have started disrupting many industries. NFTs allow the tokenization of assets like artwork, video game assets, meme templates, and much more. Such tokenization means that the ownership and authenticity of digital items can be verified in a decentralized way. NFTs have spawned an entire industry of collectibles and investments and have already delivered massive returns for many. However, as an investor, before starting with NFTs, you must understand the market, potential rewards, risks, and investment methods to profit from them. What is an NFT?Asset tokenization essentially creates digital tokens representing any real-life or online items, such as an original baseball game trading card, the first tweet by someone, etc. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique units of information stored on the blockchain network. Now, what does fungible mean? Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are “fungible,” which means each Bitcoin is indistinguishable from the other. NFTs, on the other hand, are non-interchangeable and represent the uniqueness of the items, such as a land ownership deed, digital art, or even real-life items. <h2 id="header-0">NFT Market: Quick Facts</h2>NFTs have been called the next big thing in crypto, and the sentiment is entirely understandable when you look at the following data. Massive Boom in Sales: The NFT industry surged to $2.5 billion in sales in the first half of 2021, up from just $13.7 million in the first half of 2020. Room For Growth: The market for collectibles like cards and toys is $370 Billion. NFTs can command a similarly significant share of digital collectibles like art, gaming assets, and more. Strong Recent Growth: NFT investments have hit $10.7 billion in the last quarter alone. A 704% increase from the quarter before that. <h2 id="header-1">How NFTs Are Changing Crypto Investment</h2>Why are people interested in investing thousands or more in NFTs? There are two main reasons: Revolutionary Technology: Investors in NFTs are very bullish on the technology, and its case uses. The versatile tech allows rapid innovations and lets ownership and validity of digital assets be tracked. Although NFTs started with artwork, the technology has disrupted several other areas like music, airlines, passports, houses, cars, and even (virtual) real estate! Investors are of the sentiment that the technology can do very well in different domains in the forthcoming future. Social Capital: Having an NFT provides a feeling of exclusiveness and displays social status. Like owning a Mercedes or Gucci bag in the offline world, NFTs can let people flaunt the digital assets they own with a simple picture or video. Such social capital holds value in today’s social media era. Celebrity Endorsements: For many investors, the decision to invest in an NFT or not comes solely from whether there is a strong community for the NFT. Snoop Dogg, Shaq O’Neal, and several other celebrities have joined NFT communities, strengthening the ecosystem. Major Real-World Adoption: Several organizations have issued NFT collectibles and contributed to the growing NFT ecosystem. Some of these include Marvel with exclusive collectibles, NFL with exclusive highlights, UFC with panini for trading cards, and much more. <h2 id="header-2">How to Start Investing in NFTs</h2>Investing in NFTs may seem difficult to newer users. Given below is a step-by-step guide for investing in NFTs. Make an Account on an NFT Marketplace: There are several marketplaces where various NFTs and collections are sold. These have their separate sign-up requirements, but most will need users to have a crypto wallet of some kind. Some marketplaces include OpenSea, Rarible, SuperRare, and Bluemoon, which will be the world’s first collaborative NFT marketplace. Make a Digital Wallet: Crypto wallets are necessary for holding crypto. Once the wallets are funded, these can be used for purchasing NFTs at the marketplaces of the user’s choice. Wallets can be hot wallets connected to the internet or cold storage hardware wallets. Some marketplaces require specialised tokens like Binance Coin, so investors should ensure that the wallet supports the coins that work in the chosen marketplace. Fund The Wallet and Marketplace Account: The next step is buying cryptocurrency to purchase things in the marketplace. These can be purchased at exchanges like Coinbase or Binance or Decentralised exchanges like UniSwap and PancakeSwap. Currency can be loaded onto the platforms after that if such a feature is supported. Purchase NFT of Your Choice: With the marketplaces and wallets set up and funded, you can now buy the NFTs of your choice. NFTs are mostly purchased using an auction format where investors submit a bid for the token of their choice. The user with the highest bid gets the NFT. <h2 id="header-3">Legion’s All Round NFT Platform — Bluemoon</h2>Legion Network is the world’s first blockchain ecosystem that combines all the best services in the industry in one decentralised super app. The platform combines services like crypto wallets, SaaS, gaming, and more into the super-app. Bluemoon is part of this platform and is an NFT marketplace that offers the following benefits.
