Do You Still Own NFTs? What the Data Says About the State of Digital Collectibles

Hey Hackers!

\ Welcome back to 3 Tech Polls, HackerNoon's Weekly Newsletter that curates results from our Poll of the Week, and 2 related polls around the web. Thank you for having voted in our polls in the past.

This week, we’re talking about a subject that has seemingly come and gone: NFTs.

Just a few years ago, they were all the rage. In 2022, Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. Paris Hilton and Jimmy Fallon discussed NFTs on The Tonight Show. Even U.S. President Donald Trump got in on the action.

But the hype for NFTs has seemingly gone away; according to a report from dappGambl, 95% of NFTs are now worthless. So, where does the HackerNoon community stand on all of this? Well, let’s look at the results.

HackerNoon Poll: Do You Still Own NFTs?

\

\

We asked the question: Do you still own NFTs? More than 240 people responded, letting us know whether they were still on the hype train or not.

42% of voters declared that they never liked NFTs to begin with. 26% of voters are still actively interested in them. 20% are definitely done with them. And lastly, 12% still own some but no longer care for them.

So, it appears that 74% of all voters don’t want anything to do with NFTs, while 26% still care. That’s the HackerNoon community’s stance on the whole subject, but what does the rest of the web think? Let’s find out.

What floor price will CryptoPunks hit in 2025?

The last time CryptoPunks’ floor price was above 60 ETH was in January 2024. The last time it was above 70 ETH was in August 2022. And the last time it surpassed 100 ETH was in October of 2021.

It seems unlikely that it will go over 70 or 100 ETH this year. However, it did get close to reaching 60 ETH. On August 12th, CryptoPunks’ floor price hit 53 ETH. So, it is somewhat conceivable that CryptoPunks reaches 60 ETH before the end of the year.

Will Donald Trump launch an NFT this year?

We’ve already discussed how President Trump has sold NFTs in the past, but people are wondering if that’s a business venture he would pursue once again. According to Kalshi voters, there’s a 1% chance that President Trump launches an NFT by the end of the year. There’s only a little over a month before 2026 arrives, so it seems unlikely that we’ll see some sort of presidential NFT before the new year.

\ That’s it for this week, folks. Until next time!
