Cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), have been seeing significant growth in the past year. This has been accompanied by a rise in interest in Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) like CryptoPunks. Raoul Pal, the CEO of Global Macroinvestor.com, recently pointed out an interesting trend that has emerged between the traditional art market and NFTs. According to Pal, for people who believe in the long-term growth of cryptocurrencies, this could present a buying opportunity as prices have been under pressure in ETH terms.

Traditional art prices rise with expansions in fiat supply, while NFT prices have been trending downwards due to ETH's deflationary nature. This is because as more participants join the NFT ecosystem, more ETH is used up which in turn causes the asset to become relatively rarer in the long run.

The increase in prices can be seen across the global crypto market. The total market share of the sector is estimated to be around $1.27 trillion. Not surprisingly, the prices of BTC and ETH have also seen significant growths in the past seven days. BTC trades at $30,350, an 8.65% increase while ETH trades at $2,100 after gaining 15%. These prices represent the highest since June 2022.

The volatility of the crypto market suggests that investors must stay abreast of latest trends in order to make informed decisions. As Raoul Pal made clear, NFT enthusiasts should pay close attention to the crypto market and look for potential buying opportunities. With the world's eyes trained on crypto, such opportunities may have lasting benefits in the future.
