Please remove this sentence:
The trading of NFTs in 2021 increased to $17 billion over just $82 million in the previous year.
and replace it with this:
NFT trading increased from US$82 million in 2020 to US$17 billion in 2021.
Chronological order is generally better than the reverse. Also, there are many $ currencies. The source relies on another source that labels its $ figures as USD. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 23:24, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Update the article of the history of NFTs and in popular culture as there is still news coverage of this feature as of 2024. Take a look at this site:
Also, there is still updates about this: [1] [2]

Not done Wikipedia is not the news; it's not necessary to include every instance of NFTs in the news into this article. If you think there is a particularly noteworthy news development, please follow the instructions in WP:ER as to how to propose that change. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:21, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 1 March 2024 - Adoption of NFT by conventional artist

In examples for use cases in art it is worth mentioning that internationally renowned artist Erwin Wurm released a short looping video of a red Porsche 911 that transforms into a "Fat Car" (a signature piece of Wurm) as NFT. He was one of the first and few traditional artists to use NFTs as a means to distribute his art in collaboration with Gallerie König (Berlin).[1] 2A01:599:107:2F41:B05D:AD74:9A12:B2E2 (talk) 06:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Why, exactly is it worth mentioning? While Erwin Wurm is noteworthy as an artist, that doesn't mean this project is noteworthy. We need better sources to be able to explain to readers why this particular project is a noteworthy example of NFTs. Looking at Sleek Magazine's about page I do not accept that this is a reliable source, and that article seems very shallow. Grayfell (talk) 09:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Change the 'Environmental Impact' section to be more up to date. Specifically: As of 2022, Ethereum cut its energy consumption by 99.99 percent. (source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2369304-cryptocurrency-ethereum-has-slashed-its-energy-use-by-99-99-per-cent/ . If that's not an acceptable source (idk what counts), the source given on other Wikipedia pages is this one https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-06/ethereum-cut-its-energy-use-99-but-climate-gains-may-be-curbed , but it only states 'estimated 99 percent')
I'm pretty sure no other proof-of-work blockchains were involved with NFTs and there is no carbon-intensive NFT activity. There are none in the references, at least. Frankly, I wonder if the whole section should just be deleted now?
It may be worth keeping some of the information in the form of the past tense. e.g. "NFT purchases and sales used to involve high energy usage [174], and consequent greenhouse gas emissions, associated with blockchain transactions on Ethereum, which used an energy-intensive proof-of-work method to validate transactions. [176][177] Since 2022, Ethereum cut its energy usage by 99.99 percent by switching to proof-of-stake. Corevibes (talk) 21:49, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
