The art world is a highly lucrative industry, with a reputation for being both exclusive and enigmatic. However, a new wave of technology is bringing an era of art trading into existence. **The question is, what is the future of online art trading?**

\
A new, blockchain-based technology – known as a 'Non-Fungible Token' – gaining popularity as it can revolutionize the art industry.

\
[Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/nft) are often referred to as “crypto-collectibles.” They are a unique kind of crypto asset. The term “fungible” is used in the crypto space to describe an asset that has exactly the same value as other tokens. They can be interchanged for each other and their value is equal. In other words, the tokens are identical and interchangeable.

\
There are a lot of huge factors surrounding the art industry and how it's affected by technology. The market can be divided into two types, fine art and craft-related art. The overall size of the market for art is about $145.4 billion globally. The digital art market size is about $340 million and the specialty token market size is about $1.1 billion. 

\
It's important to look at the difference between fine art and crafts and how the internet has affected them. Data suggest the finest art market is about $67.4 billion and about $76.4 billion for crafts. The data also suggests that digital art and technology have had a huge impact on the market.

\
For most people, non-fungible tokens are hard to understand, but they are easy to use. Non-fungible tokens are most often used in online games, online card games, and online collectibles. They are used for trading video game skins, trading cards, trading anything that is unique and cannot be duplicated.

## **The Role of NFTs in the Online Art Trading Industry**

Online art trading has been around for years, but it wasn't until the introduction of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that it began to really pick up steam. The idea of online art trading is that buyers can purchase digital works of art that are stored on a blockchain.

\
This is similar to how you can purchase digital tokens on a blockchain, but the difference is that the artwork is stored on the blockchain too. Users can own, trade, and transfer their digital artwork across different blockchain networks.

## The Future Of NFT Technology in the Online Art Trading Industry

Online art trading is a multi-billion-dollar market and it is growing at an exponential rate. With the introduction of new technology such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), it has become easier than ever before to obtain digital copies of your favourite pieces, obtain new pieces, and obtain the latest news surrounding your favourite artists.

\
The use of NFTs has proven to be a great way to obtain and share digital assets and it is likely that this trend will continue to grow as more and more people become familiar with the technology and its potential.

\
Art has always been a very valuable commodity. With many millionaires being amassed by great artists, it's easy to see why being an artist is very profitable. From the Renaissance to the Impressionist period, artists have always had a place in art history. However, with the explosion of internet technology, new forms of art have come to the forefront.

\
Online art trading has become a new phenomenon, and with the emergence of new forms of technology, like the Non-Fungible Token (NFT), it's easy to see that online art trading may be the next big thing to hit the art world.

\
One of the main features of NFTs is that they are not limited to the digital space. They are often backed by physical assets, which makes them more valuable. The future of NFTs is bright because they are gaining popularity, and people are becoming increasingly interested in investing in them.
