Global VC funding invested billions of dollars in NFT startups in 2021, a value nearly 40 times higher than in 2020. On top of that, the early months for 2022 reveal both a deal count as well as an investment value that was already higher than the annual figures for 2017 through 2020 combined. The NFT market grew significantly in 2021, with both collectibles - like Bored Ape Yacht Club, virtual pictures of randomly generated monkeys - and games - such as "play to earn" game Axie Infinity, which allowed players to earn and trade cryptocurrencies in-game.
