Remember when NFTs dominated every art headline? The hype may have cooled significantly, but some artists are still quietly thriving in the NFT space. Far from the flashy headlines and viral scandals, these creators are proving there's still meaningful opportunity in digital collectibles—when done thoughtfully.
1. Beeple: Still the NFT King
Mike Winkelmann, better known as Beeple, famously sold his "Everydays" NFT for $69 million in 2021. While many called NFTs a passing fad, Beeple continues to consistently produce new work and command impressive prices, asserting, "NFTs allow me to create and distribute art with more freedom than ever before."
2. Fewocious: Authenticity and Connection
Teenage art phenomenon Victor Langlois, aka Fewocious, remains a standout in the NFT space. Victor’s deeply personal and vibrant digital art consistently resonates emotionally with buyers. In a recent Twitter Spaces session, Fewocious remarked, "The NFT community supports artists genuinely sharing their stories, and that's never going away."
3. XCOPY: Digital Art’s Banksy
Anonymous artist XCOPY continues to thrive through the sharp and critical nature of his animated NFTs, regularly fetching six-figure sales. XCOPY tweeted recently, "People thought NFTs died; actually, they just matured. Authentic creativity always finds an audience."
4. Amber Vittoria: Bridging Digital and Physical
Artist Amber Vittoria cleverly blends digital NFT art with tangible perks—like exclusive prints and collector events. "NFTs aren't just digital art," Vittoria recently explained on Instagram. "They’re an invitation into deeper community and connection."
5. Trevor Jones: Merging Old and New
Scottish artist Trevor Jones has successfully combined traditional painting techniques with digital NFT offerings. In a recent interview, Jones stated, "NFTs aren't just speculative—they've expanded the definition of art ownership, and artists who respect that continue thriving."
Why NFTs Still Matter
Despite a market correction, NFTs have found stability and purpose beyond speculative investments. Artists who nurture genuine relationships, offer authenticity, and creatively bridge physical and digital art are quietly enjoying sustained success.
The NFT hype might be gone, but meaningful art—and meaningful income—is still very much alive.
