The NFT market in 2023 has enjoyed a comfortable start, much like it did in 2022. For now, there is no telling what direction it will take, for the optimist however, it points green all the way. But, if there is one thing to learn about the cryptocurrency space, it is that a billion dollars can be wiped off in a matter of hours. In the same way, projects could raise a billion in the twinkle of an eye.
The mood within the industry is that of optimism, with several new NFT projects flooding the market, and novel NFT projects like Bitcoin Ordinals emerging. With an oversaturated market, NFT enthusiasts often turn to notable NFT collectors to make decisions. While most users in the NFT space, including whales, often choose to stay anonymous, some collectors often choose to make themselves and their assets known. This often gets them a large following from NFT enthusiasts hoping to hit it big in the NFT space.
Whether it is a celebrity collector or a Twitter influencer with a massive following, collectors play an important role. For many users, the goal is to buy in early on the good NFT projects and avoid the bad ones. Thus, by following the collectors, they can easily identify the projects to invest in or avoid.
In this article, we go through a list of the top 5 NFT collectors in 2023. Let’s go!
