Exchange trading dominates NFT volume, largely because no other venue exists to safely transact. OTC trading of NFTs is risky & more often than not results in scams or theft of assets. Exchanges offer safety & trust when trading NFTs.
When a project first lists on one venue it's very hard for another exchange to become the go-to place for trading. Buyers are attracted to the exchange with the most listings & the best prices, which is normally the incumbent. Liquidity is hard to disrupt no matter the asset.

I think Coinbase & FTX will eventually control a significant share of NFT volume, but it won't be an overnight success. Coinbase should have the upper hand with a more entrenched US retail presence & better UI.

What's next for OpenSea & the other NFT exchanges? My guess is we'll see NFT venues start to offer mobile apps which will then become full crypto trading destinations. Just like FTX is going downstream from crypto to NFTs, OpenSea can swim upstream & challenge FTX in crypto.

I like NFTs & think they're a fun evolution of digital culture. I think NFTs will grow sizably in the coming years led mostly by Coinbase's entry into the space. I'll be writing more about NFT exchanges in an upcoming post - sign up below if interested:https://frontmonth.substack.com/
