This year, the trading volume is skyrocketing by the minute.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the overall NFT sales volume jumped by 38% in January alone, which means about $947 million. Meanwhile, traders sold 42% more NFTs than in previous months \u2013 an undeniably remarkable growth.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the increased trading activity is partly due to the latest drops from iconic NFT projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Which_NFT_Projects_Should_You_Look_Into_Now\">Which NFT Projects Should You Look Into Now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To begin with, Yuga Labs\u2019 Sewer Pass drop for their limited-edition game Dookey Dash caused a frenzy among followers.

In fact, this launch alone represents 34% of all NFT transactions in January!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Doodles\u2019 Dooplication feature, launched on February 1st, is another exciting drop. Accordingly, Doodles NFT holders can customize their collectibles using the new Dooplicator.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, the popular PFP project Moonbirds started 2023 by signing with United Talent Agency \u2013 one of the most popular agencies in Hollywood.
