In the fall of 2021 we echoed a great phenomenon in the cryptocurrency market: Solana surpassed Dogecoin and its enormous growth came hand in hand with a key ally, which was NFTs. The coin had skyrocketed its value by more than 200% in a month and that is that non-fungible tokens or NFT were in full swing.

It must be remembered that even Binance has become a bank face with this event and after the collapse of FTX is defending that it is necessary to regulate cryptocurrencies
