They said it wouldn’t last, but the NFT boom marches on, ratcheting up hundreds of millions of dollars in transaction volumes.

Every year, global research and development company Gartner publishes its Hype Chart, which highlights the 25 breakthrough technologies that the company considers will have the most impact on business and society over the next two to ten years. It also publishes a range of other forecasts of crypto, blockchain, and other technologies.
