Some of the world’s top brands like Coca Cola and Gucci also sold NFTs in 2021. NFT sales volume recorded $24.9 billion in 2021, compared to just $94.9 million in the previous year. Transactions that occur ‘off-chain’ like significant NFT art sales at auction houses are often not captured by the data. CryptoSlam, which tracks multiple blockchains, said the total sales in the year was about $18.3 billion. NonFungible.com, another blockchain tracking platform told 2021 sales at $15.7 billion.
