It's been a while since we talked about NFTs, but honestly I believe this sector is far from dying. What’s happening is that it’s maturing, and some projects truly have solid use cases that go beyond speculative hype.

If you're looking for the best NFT projects to follow, here are a few that have my attention:

APE remains the driving force behind the Yuga Labs ecosystem, so as long as there’s activity on that side, the token remains relevant. FLOW is interesting because it was specifically designed for NFTs and digital collectibles; it’s not an improvised project. IMX, as a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum, makes technical sense for scaling NFTs without crazy gas fees. Rarible, with its RARI token, continues to be a relevant marketplace, and CHZ is doing interesting things with fan tokens and sports.

What has changed is that now people are looking for real utility, not just speculation. The best NFT projects will be those that can demonstrate value beyond just collecting. BTC remains at 68.81K with a slight decrease of -0.21% in 24h, but the overall market seems to be in consolidation mode. The next wave of NFTs, when it arrives, will probably be different from the one we saw before, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead.
