NFTs in 2026 are as obvious as a wet fish slapping you in the face. Salt of the earth collectors here are still missing it. The demand that will pull the acorn out of the iceberg is the hybrid of phygital collectibles. Courtyard are buying $80 million a month in PSA graded cards that are sold with a digital receipt. There’s growing trend of kidults collecting for nostalgia and social connection. There’s a quiet acceptance of owning the digital that represents the physical, without the friction. Kevin Warsh is now sitting at 95% odds on Polymarket to be Fed chair and has already signalled lower rates. I’ve listened to hours of him speak. He thinks the Fed should run the same playbook as Alan Greenspan in 1994. At the time the internet was making businesses more efficient, but it wasn’t showing up in the data yet. That’s what he believes is happening with AI now. Lower rates is the silver bullet. Money moves into risk assets faster. Then the skill becomes picking the right risk adjusted NFT projects. From what I’m seeing, too many people, even OGs, are stuck in echo chambers and not seeing value properly. It’s attention that drives buying flows. Then it becomes who or what can capture the most attention. The beauty of NFTs is the built in supply friction, paired with ETH’s multiplier effect, which makes everything else in crypto look small in comparison. History, culturally significant art, and founders who can drive demand while having an altruistic view of community will win. I’ve put 21 research backed NFTs into one guide with my views on each so you don’t miss the actual trend. Link in bio.
