Bitwise Asset Management has launched its new NFT index fund on Dec. 16 this is the world’s first NFT Index Fund. The fund is in an effort to make some of the world’s most valuable NFTs, art collections, and other digital assets of value more accessible.
The Bitwise Blue-Chip NFT Index Fund, according to the statement, is designed to allow accredited investors to invest in major nonfungible tokens and art collections.
In 2021, the NFT business has exploded. CryptoPunks were acquired by retailers all around the world for millions of dollars, attracting institutional and accredited investors. NFT trading volumes topped $10 billion for the first time in the third quarter of 2021.

The NFTs Journey
In 2017, the term “NFT” was coined. In 2017, two highly major NFT projects, CryptoPunks and CryptoKitties, were created, despite their relative obscurity at the time.
Propy was the first to sell an NFT home. This was the start of NFT’s widespread acceptance, which corresponded with the bull market in Bitcoin.
