He noted that Ethereum last hit its all-time high of around $4,800 in November 2021, the peak of the NFT boom.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, both Ethereum and the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/market-reports\/the-rise-and-fall-of-nfts\/\">broader NFT sector<\/a> have faced a prolonged downturn.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/nft-related-tokens-soar-in-q2-with-pengu-leading-despite-decline-in-trading-volumes\/\">signs of a revival are emerging<\/a>, with blue-chip NFT collections like CryptoPunks recently seeing double-digit floor price gains. The total NFT market capitalization has surpassed $10 billion and is steadily approaching its 2021 high of $15.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>This sector uptrend has also coincided with Ethereum crossing the $3,800 mark for the first time since December 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>NFTs as cultural items<\/h2>\n<p>Considering this, Siu believes that ETH's price could rise if the community taps into NFTs as cultural items to be embraced rather than viewed solely as financial instruments.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that NFTs embody identity, social status, and community belonging, which drive real economic value.<\/p>\n<p>Siu acknowledged that NFT trading has become increasingly fragmented across different blockchains. According to him, Ethereum's dominance in the sector has dipped, now accounting for less than half of all NFT trading volume when excluding Layer 2 networks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fragmentation, Siu sees Ethereum's cultural influence as a long-term advantage. He compared the cultural role of NFTs to luxury brands such as Herm\u00e8s and Rolex, which are valued for symbolism rather than utility.<\/p>\n<p>He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You don't buy a Birkin bag to put stuff in it just as much as you don't buy a Rolex to tell the time. NFTs represent the cultural, social and symbolic power of a community.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also emphasized ETH's unique role as a spending token, unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, which he described as rooted in a &#8220;HODL&#8221; culture. According to him:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;ETH is a utility token and holding it is for the opportunity to engage in something important i.e to spend such as in DeFi, some token and yes also NFTs. This is also the reason why ETH rising is bullish on-chain because we spend unlike BTC users whose culture is infinite HODL.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Considering this, he urged Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin to embrace NFTs as financial assets and pillars of Ethereum's cultural economy.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;NFTs are the backbone of the Ethereum cultural economy much more than just financial, it's about culture, status and ultimately belonging.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animoca Brands co-founder and executive chair Yat Siu believes that a resurgence in the NFT sector could push Ethereum to all-time highs, surpassing its previous peak during the 2021 bull run.
