Regardless of the expansion, nevertheless, Paraspace and BitKeep researchers warned that liquidity considerations stay a continuing theme within the sector:
“The shortage of liquidity in NFT buying and selling is principally brought on by restricted person numbers, difficulties in pricing, and excessive NFT costs. We thus observe two excessive eventualities the place the TOP 10 NFTs preserve a sure degree of liquidity with little fluctuation between tasks, whereas different NFTs are offered at reductions.”
In a press release to Cointelegraph, Paraspace NFT builders defined that regardless of accumulating NFT loans of over $280 million, the protocol had simply 16 NFT liquidations with no dangerous debt because it started operations final 12 months.

The entry threshold for blue chip NFTs is commonly very excessive, with a mean value vary between $11,000 to $120,000.
“Sometimes, customers can solely borrow ETH in opposition to a single NFT. For us, customers can use a basket of NFTs + ERC20 (3 BAYC + 1 AZUKI + 2 BTC) to borrow assortment property (say 10 ETH + 10 USDT + 100 APE). This provides our platform a chance to mixture liquidity into one place and thus improve the capital effectivity for liquidity.”
However, builders at each Paraspace and BitKeep cautioned that the NFTs are a brand new market “missing historic information and universally acknowledged valuation evaluation strategies, leading to pricing difficulties.” Because of this, completely different perceptions of rarity based mostly on subjective views have led to massive value variances even inside the identical NFT collection. In the marketplace’s future outlook, builders commented:
“Excessive-quality NFTs usually have sturdy group consensus, workforce background, and distinctive inventive kinds. Nonetheless, the obstacles for peculiar customers to take part in blue-chip or standard NFTs are growing. These days, some options have emerged, resembling NFT fractionalization, NFT staking, and the rise of NFT liquidity platforms.”
