Bloomberg is reporting this as being part of the cryptocurrency $2billion freefall.

Yes, I would like to pay an outrageous amount of money for a digital receipt, thank you. May I have some more and how do I subscribe to your newsletter?

It ain't over yet, there was still almost half a billion in trades this month.

The Bloomberg article is semi-paywalled, they give you X number of free articles per month.

I'm not surprised at all that NFTs have suddenly stopped being popular things, given what they were to start with. I'm a bit surprised that it took this long for that particular bubble to burst, but I suppose that Barnum's suckers are minted now, rather than born, so it takes a little longer and a lot more resources to bring them to bear.
