Deep dives

Prediction 1: OpenSea's Market Share Falls Below 25%

OpenSea's market share is predicted to decline below 25% as emerging competition offers specialized marketplaces catering to different verticals, such as pseudo swap for floor trading, blur for professional trading, and nifty swap for ERC-1155 tokens. The increasing diversity of NFTs and user preferences will create niche marketplaces to better serve specific customer segments, leading to a more fragmented market.
