NFT influencers have been popping up all over the internet. NFTs (non-fungible token) have been around for almost a decade, but their popularity erupted in 2021. In fact, the analytics platform Dappradar recorded a year-over-year increase in NFT trading volume of over 38,000%, with August 2021 breaking records. NFT influencers are gaining traction by sharing their insights and knowledge with their growing following on various platforms, including Twitter, YouTube, Discord and TikTok.
