In 2023, the world of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) experienced significant developments and challenges. Despite criticism, NFTs remained a vibrant part of the market, with sales reaching over $1.5 billion in the last 30 days alone. Community members actively sought solutions to address the issues faced by traditional NFTs.

One notable development was the introduction of Bitcoin Ordinals by software engineer Casey Rodarmor. Bitcoin Ordinals brought NFTs to the Bitcoin network, storing the assets’ contents directly on the blockchain. This approach aimed to tackle problems like blank images or inappropriate content. However, the decentralized nature of Ordinals also allowed for the inscription of unsavory images on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Another significant aspect of the NFT space in 2023 was the ongoing debate surrounding creator royalties. While NFTs initially offered artists and creators the opportunity to earn royalties from sales and resales, the introduction of optional royalties by some marketplaces raised concerns about fair compensation. This trend resulted in substantial losses for some creators, sparking discussions about the need for clearer rules and support.

Looking ahead to 2024, the NFT market is expected to continue evolving as marketplaces compete for dominance. Innovations like Bitcoin Ordinals and regulatory actions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will shape the industry’s landscape. Despite potential challenges, as long as NFT users remain committed to holding their assets, the NFT industry is poised to endure.
