GameFi NFTs are surging with 300% quarterly growth, driven by play-to-earn mechanics like Illuvium’s auto-battler ecosystem. Meanwhile, digital art pivots toward fractionalized ownership models exemplified by PleasrDAO’s $WHALE token. Investment viability in GameFi relies on daily active wallets exceeding 10,000 and retention rates above 40%, whereas art NFTs demand robust royalty enforcement tech. Hybrid platforms merging physical/digital assets (e.g., Art Blocks Engine) are capturing institutional interest.
