NFT marketplaces

Chapter 29 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain and DLT, 2026, pp 146-149 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: NFT marketplaces play a pivotal role in enabling the creation, trading, and curation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) across various digital categories, such as art, collectibles, and gaming assets. These decentralized platforms, built on blockchain technology, offer features like minting, peer-to-peer transactions, and smart contract integration. Key functionalities include various listing options, such as auctions or fixed-price sales, and curation strategies that either promote accessibility or exclusivity. Despite their growing adoption, NFT marketplaces face challenges like market volatility and speculative pricing. Understanding the structure and dynamics of these platforms sheds light on their impact on the digital economy.
