HTX Research Institute Analysis：
The NFT market has continued to attract much more attention form the global market since NFT’s summer, with a sustained popularity. Well, the reasons for its prevalence maybe because the NFT and its unique IP attributes help literary artists protect their copyrights first of all; and the second reason is that the rapid development of the NFT market is driven by the continued carryover of traffic stars, for example, PhantaBear, which is launched by Jay Chou,Mayday and other celebrities. Lastly, NFT has less compliance risk issues compared to other tokens
