NFTs, those expensive digital artworks that celebs have both loved and lost, reach new lows in value as Web3 assets continue their catastrophic nosedive.

This will be the first month since June of 2016 that NFT sales won't reach $1 billion. The Bored Ape Yacht Club's blue chip collection has seen price floors fall by 30 percent or more in just 30 days.

The NFT market has fallen off the cliff this June, according to the head of research at Dapp Radar. While the market is mature, it is fair to say that in recent weeks investors were looking for safer places to put their money.

NFTs have fallen off the cliff as sales sink to the lowest levels in a year.

There's more on web3 viability.
