Making a stealth comeback, NFTs and Crypto Punks are returning to the spotlight.
Once defunct after the crypto frenzy of 2021, they are now poised for a resurgence, spurred by celebrity shoutouts and smart alliances.
Crypto Punks Are Back From The Dead With Trump’s NFT Collections
President-elect Donald Trump’s recent initiatives in the digital asset space provide a notable spark in the NFT renaissance.
The self-proclaimed “first president of crypto” has not only embraced NFTs but also released collections that have garnered considerable attention.
Among these is an NFT featuring his photo from a 2023 arrest, which oddly enough included perks like access to exclusive events at Mar-a-Lago. Trump’s gesture has reignited interest in NFTs, positioning them as both collectibles and unique access tokens.

The CryptoPunks renaissance is hard to ignore. Its trading volume soared 392%, attracting millions of people to the market in just a few days. This push pushed CryptoPunks back into the NFT spotlight, neck and neck with anime giants like Azuki.
On another front, Doodles, an NFT project, is breaking into the mainstream, partnering with McDonald’s to put their characters on mugs as digital collectibles.
This collaboration enhances Doodles’ reach and is a step toward merging classic brands with the digital realm of Web3.

Blur and OpenSea make moves
NFT marketplace Blur is exploring new fee structures, aiming to capitalize on growing interest and redirect profits to its governance token holders.
This potential fee change reflects a strategic adaptation aimed at strengthening market sustainability and user engagement amid fluctuating market conditions.
OpenSea, another leading NFT platform, is hinting at an upcoming airdrop that could potentially reward users with XP points based on their activity. Will this save NFTs entirely? No, but it does mean that the two largest markets realize that a Trump presidency could spark a new resurgence in digital art.

Digital art is making a comeback that goes way beyond mere flickering. We haven’t seen big endorsements for Crypto Punks or NFTs yet, but this tactic could have been swapped for clever partnerships like Doodle X McDonald.
NFTs could usher in a new era in digital commerce. Armed with creativity, real-world applications and smart partnerships, they could once again take center stage.
