The Philippines came out tops with 32% of respondents indicating they own NFTs, followed by Thailand (27%), Malaysia (24%), the UAE (23%) and Vietnam (17%). A mere 3% of respondents from the UK and the US owned NFTs.
The survey highlighted a trend of NFTs becoming particularly popular among lower income earners, as people leave their jobs to trade NFTs or play NFT play-to-earn games. Based on the percentage of Nigerian responders indicating they were interested in buying NFTs in future (21.7%), Nigeria is expected to have the biggest growth in NFT adoption from 13.7% to 35.4%. Other countries that are expected to see a marked growth in NFT adoption include Peru, Venezuela and the United Arab Emirates, according to the survey.
