Today, the crypto market traders and investors are disguised in bright and smiley faces after the flagship crypto ‘Bitcoin’ hit another all-time record high for the first time in crypto history.

In this article, we shall assess in depth what is really happening.

Why Are NFTs Down Despite Crypto Bull Run?
The non-fungible token market has written a non-usual pattern this time around after failing to shine despite its counterpart crypto market blossoming. In most cases, industry experts have related the NFT market and crypto relationship to that of a parent and a child, meaning that whatever drives the crypto market drives the NFT Market, too.
During the late 2021 and early 2022 market bull run, the crypto market boomed, pushing the NFT market to explode in trading sales volume. This time around, the crypto market appears booming on its own, showcasing that something went wrong.
It’s worth noting that the general crypto market suffered an extended market downturn, which impacted the NFT market heavily. In September 2023, DappGambl, an on-chain analytic firm, released a report claiming that 95% of NFTs had dropped to nearly zero floor price value. The current response from the NFT market shows that investors are yet to heal from recent trauma and are not ready to risk their investments.
