NFT.NYC has arrived, presenting its 4th annual conference from June 20th to June 23rd. With over 1500+ speakers and 200+ satellite events, the conference is being titled, “the super bowl of NFTs” from Coinbase. The conference is taking place at various venues across NYC with a combination of public, ticketed, private, and VIP satellite events. Find the conference schedule here.
As NFT.NYC is in progress during the blunt decline of cryptocurrency, many are wondering about the stability and future of NFTs. Ethereum (ETH) went briefly below $1000 after recovering slightly, affecting the current art market. However, most individuals invested in NFT show little concern for the decline, as the long-term outlook is still positive because of the attraction and interest behind it. NFT sales are even increasing by 50% in an attempt to take advantage of the low prices. This increase in sales, along with tradeable NFTs being a small 1/3 of the total market, gives investors less reason to fear the drop. With the long-awaited arrival of NFT.NYC this week, the conference is a prime time to promote NFTs and discuss the direction of the market and its stability.
Check out our roundup of satellite events that are open to the public.
