OpenSea is one of the most sought-after NFT marketplaces. Even though the NFT market has been on a downhill ride in 2022, 2023 is proving to be slightly better for the non-fungible market.
OpenSea was once the largest NFT marketplace until Blur took its place. Blur dethroned OpenSea as the top NFT trading platform by volume. The details were shared by Crypto Newsletter Milk Road. The data showed that OpenSea’s trading volume was considerably less than that of Blur’s.
As a competitor to its rival, OpenSea has unveiled a new NFT marketplace called OpenSea Pro. The new platform is claimed to be faster and comes with a buckload of features.
