NFT Market Activity, Ownership, Gaming, and Security Trends in 2024
Summary
The article compiles reported NFT market figures for the first half of 2024, covering trading volume and sales, ownership by age, gender, and country, blockchain gaming, collections, market forecasts, and losses from scams and exploits. It contrasts a sharp drop in trading activity from 2022 levels with a modest quarter-over-quarter rise in 2024, alongside increased gaming investment and wallet activity.
The figures are descriptive and drawn from several third-party sources; the article does not explain their methods, reconcile differences between estimates, or provide a trading strategy or market test. Its growth projections are forecasts rather than observed outcomes, and the reported market size and loss figures vary by source and period. The information can help readers identify adoption and risk themes, but it does not establish NFT valuations or predict future returns.
Key ideas
- NFT trading volume and sales in 2024 remained below the levels reported for early 2022.

- Blockchain gaming represented a prominent source of NFT and decentralized application activity.
- Scams, hacks, and exploits remained a material risk in the reported market figures.
- Market-size and gaming-growth projections are forecasts rather than demonstrated outcomes.
