Galaxy’s estimation was based on the rapid uptick of interest in Bitcoin NFTs, their potential to take some market share away from Ethereum, and the growing infrastructure for currency markets.
Galaxy Digital’s research unit has predicted that the Bitcoin non-fungible token (NFT) market will be worth $4.5 billion by March 2025. Bitcoin NFTs, or Ordinals, have attracted significant attention since the Ordinals protocol launched in late January, enabling users to inscribe data such as images, PDFs, video and audio onto individual satoshis — each representing 0.00000001 Bitcoin.
NFT giants such as Yuga Labs have even jumped in on the hype. On Feb. 28, the $4 billion firm behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club announced a Bitcoin-based NFT project dubbed “TwelveFold” in a notable recognition of the Ordinals movement.
In a new report published on March 3, Galaxy researchers analyzed the potential growth of Bitcoin NFTs, making estimations “conservatively based on the current size of Ethereum’s NFT market” and its growth rate over the past few years.
