Total NFT sales between the start of January and end of April 2022 stood at $37 billion, according to a report from blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, compared with $40 billion for the whole of 2021. Here are the top five countries that made the most NFT-related searches between June 2021 and May 2022, according to the NFT Club.

The event had over 20,000 visitors and generated sales of over $1.7 million. In May 2022, the country saw the launch of the world’s first metaverse music label, dubbed 0x0, with the label’s artists existing in the form of NFT characters and releasing music as their characters. Medicine Man, from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection, was 0x0’s first artist.
