Ever since their rise to popularity in 2021, new use cases have been cropping up for these digital assets. Initially, they were sought after for their collectible value and for the exclusivity they offered, but more recently, we can see a shift in the motives of NFT holders. A recent survey by CoinGecko ranked 11 reasons why people invest in NFTs… And utility and long-term profits top the list.

While other aspects do play a role, these are the main reasons why people invest in NFTs.
