Blur’s Ascent creates options for traders…
Since its launch in October, Blur has produced excellent statistics, and Ascent was not ignored in the NFT industry. Although it experienced incredible growth, it still trailed OpenSea in terms of market share and user base. Furthermore, this was expected, given how long both marketplaces have been around, Blur could close the gap even more if it maintains its current trend.
Due to the variety of marketplaces available to execute NFT trades, investors can win in this situation.
