NFT world in the near future
One of the main concerns to consider when considering OpenSea is the possible impact of government regulation. According to United States law, NFTs may be considered securities in the future. This is due to the fact that the tokens themselves already satisfy the definition of securities:
- They are purchased for money or its equivalent.
- Bring profit to the owner.
- Owners invest in joint ventures.
- Income depends on the efforts of other participants.
As you know, the main problem of the crypto sphere is its instability. It is already saturated with speculation, fraud, fictitious transactions and inflated prices.
If these trends continue to accelerate in the future, it could discourage a significant portion of OpenSea's potential users and impact its revenue. However, experts say that OpenSea is already preparing for a likely worsening of the situation and has sufficient resources to successfully overcome the upcoming “crypto-winter” period.
With each new project, the NFT universe continues to expand. There is an opinion that the most promising in the future will be audio tokens and “intelligent” NFTs based on artificial intelligence. In this context, OpenSea must maintain its leadership by keeping up with the market, expanding its collections and improving token sorting, which is becoming increasingly complex.
The main strategy should be the development of functionality and the creation of useful additional products, such as mobile applications for gadgets.
Despite their relative newness, NFTs are already represented by a rich variety of objects that have gained enormous popularity. The following are the top 10 NFT collections on the marketplace.
1. DeGods
This is a global community of developers, businessmen, athletes, artists, innovators and at the same time a digital collection of works of art. The set consists of 8,896 items. It was created in March 2024 based on Ethereum.
2. Bored Ape Yacht Club
The Bored Ape Yacht Club Collection includes 9,998 unique Ethereum-based PFP tokens. It was created in April 2021 by the developer Yacht Club and quickly gained popularity. The set includes original images of monkeys with hundreds of different qualities and attributes. Owners will be able to enjoy special permissions for different collections and invitations to joint events. "Yacht Club" is a futuristic bar where the "monkeys" talk and revel in their prestigious position.
Future benefits are unlocked by the community through roadmap activation.
3. Mutant Ape Yacht Club
Mutant Monkey Yacht Club is a continuation of the famous Bored Ape token collection, but has an important feature: it includes rare mutant monkeys. Special access to this collection and privileges for the owners have made MAYC a famous and sought-after collection.
Owners of Bored Ape Yacht Club are provided with a token (“serum”) with which they can transform their monkeys, receiving new NFTs. Moreover, the originals remain their property. Newly created NFTs take on unique mutant characteristics. There are three types of “serum” available: M1, M2 and M3. The latter allows you to turn a monkey into a mega-mutant. There are only 10 copies of this “serum”.
4. Milady Maker
Milady Maker is an innovative project designed to create unique NFT profile images. The girls' avatars are made in anime style. Unique avatars are created by randomly generating one of the 5 available styles and are complemented by various cosmetic accessories. They are developed by the anonymous online Remilia team.
The art style of the avatars is subtly intertwined with chibi elements, and a choice of five stylish themes inspired by modern Tokyo pop culture will help you choose the most impressive unique avatar for the user.
5. Pudgy Penguins
The Pudgy Penguins collection is developed by The Igloo Company and released on July 22, 2021. 8,888 unique Ethereum-based PFP tokens have been created. Each penguin image includes several of 150 hand-drawn characteristics.
This collection has many fans. And the brand is also used outside of NFTs: to create objects, content, toys, etc.
6. Azuki
Azuki presents a unique selection of 10,000 anime-inspired avatars. This project was launched in January 2022 and immediately became one of the most successful NFTs in the world, instantly selling out on the OpenSea platform. Azuki grossed over $28 million upon its debut. Azuki's unique aesthetic combines elements of modern culture and the anime Samurai Champloo.
The Azuki team announced a long-term development strategy, which attracted investors and contributed to the formation of the NFT community. The development plan includes exclusive Azuki products, solo exhibitions for Azuki members, as well as its own cryptocurrency, designated $BEAN.

To be able to mint, users must join the “y00t-list” or “y00t-scholarship”. Those seeking to obtain the y00ts NFT through participation in a “list or scholarship” will need to link their Solana wallets to the platform.

Once the process is complete, the project whitelist accepts applicants based on their responses, ensuring transparency and availability of information about the list.
