NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are slowly gaining traction across the globe as a feasible investment option. While popular NFT collections such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and CryptoPunk have found support from celebrities and regulators alike, there are several other less-popular (and less-costly) NFT collections that you can explore. As per CoinMarketCap data, NFTs have seen an all-time sales volume of over $7.7 billion, with a total market cap of $1.8 billion at the time of writing. Under this backdrop, finance guide SavingSpot has conducted a study to figure out the interest and sentiment on NFTs around the world.
