Biggest NFT marketplaces up until February 22, 2023, based on 30d sales volume

NFT marketplace OpenSea had a trading volume in February 2023 that was only marginally bigger than competitor Blur, as it was about to launch its own token. This according to a ranking that compares different platforms where people can buy NFTs. These so-called "marketplaces" function rather differently from each other, though. Axie Infinity, NBA Top Shot, and Decentraland, for instance, are example of popular NFT games that either rely on collectibles or on metaverses. OpenSea and Sushiswap, on the other hand, function more like decentralized exchanges, where people can go and buy either NFT or crypto. Finally, CryptoPunks and Solanart are platform that specialize in crypto art - NFTs with unique pictures or artwork. Art was one of the most popular categories for NFTs.
