According to industry estimates, the NFT market could reach $35 billion in 2022 and more than $80 billion by 2025.The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced Friday the release of a “study on illicit finance in the high-value art market.” The study was mandated by Congress in the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020.
“This study examined art market participants and sectors of the high-value art market that may present money laundering and terrorist financing risks to the U.S. financial system,” the Treasury wrote, adding: The emerging digital art market, such as the use of non-fungible tokens , may present new risks, depending on the structure and market incentives.
In order to combat the risks, the study recommends several options, including updating training for law and customs enforcement, enhancing private sector information sharing, and applying anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing requirements to certain participants in the art market. According to Dappradar, NFT sales volume totaled $24.9 billion in 2021, compared to $94.9 million in the previous year. Jefferies’ analysts have estimated that the market for NFTs could reach $35 billion in 2022 and more than $80 billion by 2025.“Scams promising big returns on cryptocurrencies and NFTs are flooding the Internet,” T. K. Keen, administrator for the Division of Financial Regulation of the U.S. state of Oregon, warned in January.
