This year's number is sure to blow that $340 million figure out of the water.
You see, NFTs aren't going anywhere.
These investments are here to stay.
But what a lot of investors new to NFTs find difficult is knowing which NFT is worth their cash.
Valuing art, for example, is tough business.
Fortunately, you don't have to drop everything and become a trained art appraiser to make money off of NFTs.
There's a pick and shovel play that will let you profit as the NFT, and broader cryptocurrency markets, balloon over time.
And you can do it right from the stock market.
Here’s what we’re talking about...
NFTs were a small, niche blockchain application until this year, when a collector paid $69 million worth of Ether for a unique piece of digital art.

Bitcoin keeps on charging full steam ahead and could easily hit $72,000 before long.

Just as we predicted, Bitcoin's now hit over $40,000, thanks to big institutional investors and corporations who've pumped $17 billion into BTC and other microcurrencies over the past few months.
Bitcoin's mass acceptance gives it solid footing to reach Tom's one-year, $100K price target.

Now, I'm looking at another fintech opportunity for our readers.
It's one you won't want to miss...
