It was Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s <em>Salvator Mundi<\/em>. The piece sold for $450 million.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s <em>Salvator Mundi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center mb-4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202201\/20220126-jmu-pm-01_dng465.jpg\" alt=\"Chart\" class=\"img-fluid\" \/><\/div>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Source: Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/p>\n<p>$450 million is a steep price for a single piece of artwork. But it&rsquo;s not uncommon to see prices like this when a one-of-a-kind piece goes up for sale. The art market thrives on scarcity&hellip; and it has historically been ruled by physical assets.<\/p>\n<p>But all that changed in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ll remember 2021 as the start of a revolution in the art and collectibles space. That&rsquo;s when extremely valuable pieces of art finally went <em>digital<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The digital artist Beeple &ndash; also known as Mike Winkelmann &ndash; executed a historic deal for one of his own artworks. The piece? It was actually a collage of 5,000 individual artworks Beeple produced over 5,000 days. We can see it below.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Everydays: The First 5,000 Days<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center mb-4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202201\/20220126-jmu-pm-02_dng465.jpg\" alt=\"Chart\" class=\"img-fluid\" \/><\/div>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Source: Sotheby&rsquo;s<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And the sale price? Over $69 million.<\/p>\n<p>This sparked a wave of investment in a special kind of tokenized asset &ndash; non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.<\/p>\n<p>Regular readers of <em>The Bleeding Edge<\/em> are already caught up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownstoneresearch.com\/bleeding-edge\/jeff-browns-prediction-series-the-nft-boom-is-just-getting-started\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this trend<\/a>. In fact, I&rsquo;ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brownstoneresearch.com\/bleeding-edge\/more-proof-that-nfts-are-on-the-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sounding the alarm on NFTs<\/a> over the last year.<\/p>\n<p>For newer readers, NFTs are digital assets that are cryptographically secured and authenticated on a blockchain. We can think of these as digital collectibles.<\/p>\n<p>They can include video clips, individual works of art, items purchased in digital worlds&hellip; Even NFTs with physical counterparts can be linked to items inside video games and metaverses.<\/p>\n<p>I can guess what we&rsquo;re probably thinking: This all seems a little&hellip; crazy.<\/p>\n<p>I understand why we might think that. But I&rsquo;d encourage us to keep an open mind. Dismissing the NFT trend as a &ldquo;fad&rdquo; would mean passing up one of the most exciting investing trends of this decade.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">NFTs Are Misunderstood<\/h2>\n<p>In March 2021, I was a guest on Glenn Beck&rsquo;s radio show. The topic was NFTs. Glenn had some great questions, and I was happy for the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>From 2019 to 2020, the total volume of sales on Ethereum grew almost three-fold. By the end of 2020, NFT sales came in at about $340 million. But here&rsquo;s what I told Glenn on his show back in March:<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #ccc; margin: 0px 30px 0px 10px;padding-left: 15px;\">\n<p>[NFTs] are going to have a multibillion-dollar year this year. And it&rsquo;s because people see the art and collectibles market shifting from physical objects to digital assets. And each one is individual, and unique, and rare.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I was right. The growth of NFTs went exponential in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>More than $4 billion of NFTs were sold during the first half of 2021. And that number soon grew to over $23 billion by the end of 2021. That&rsquo;s a 6,664% increase from 2020.<\/p>\n<p>To my knowledge, there is no analyst who accurately predicted this type of growth. But if you&rsquo;ve been reading <em>The Bleeding Edge<\/em> over the last year, then you&rsquo;re already well ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n<p>Just like I told Glenn back in March&hellip; this multibillion-dollar market will change the world for years to come. And it&rsquo;s going to make a lot of people rich in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these are still very early days. But unlike the legacy art and collectibles markets&hellip; we don&rsquo;t need to own any NFTs to capitalize on this megatrend.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">A Play on the Entire NFT Megatrend<\/h2>\n<p>Like I mentioned earlier, NFTs are supported by blockchain technology. And this is opening up the opportunity for us to invest in a unique group of tokens that will surge as the NFT market takes off.<\/p>\n<p>So <a href=\"https:\/\/signup.brownstoneresearch.com\/?cid=MKT600854&#038;eid=MKT605272&#038;step=start&#038;plcid=PLC128145\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tonight at 8 p.m. ET<\/a>, I&rsquo;m holding a special presentation to show you how to place an early stake in an exciting class of digital tokens set to take off with this trend &ndash; NFT coins.<\/p>\n<p>NFT coins have already jumped high enough to turn a single $1,000 investment into $361,165, $588,532, and even $1.08 million&hellip; in as little as three months.<\/p>\n<p>And I&rsquo;ve found <a href=\"https:\/\/signup.brownstoneresearch.com\/?cid=MKT600854&#038;eid=MKT605272&#038;step=start&#038;plcid=PLC128145\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three NFT coins that could hand you decades of tech gains<\/a> in a matter of months.<\/p>\n<p>I see the market for NFTs hitting a major inflection point from here.
