For instance, in December 2025, according to CryptoSlam, a US-based blockchain analytics company, the total NFT supply exceeded 1.34 billion tokens in circulation in 2025, representing an approximately 25% increase compared to nearly one billion tokens in 2024.

Leading companies operating in the collectibles market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as blockchain-enabled digital collectible platforms, to improve digital ownership verification, enhance resale transparency, and expand consumer engagement across entertainment and gaming ecosystems. Blockchain-enabled digital collectible platforms are decentralized systems that allow users to purchase, authenticate, trade, and store digital collectibles using NFT-backed ownership records and smart contracts. For example, in August 2023, FIBA, a Switzerland-based basketball governing organization, partnered with Venly, a Belgium-based blockchain technology company, and launched FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 digital NFT collectibles. The collection included blockchain-authenticated fan memorabilia, limited-edition digital assets minted on Polygon, and token-gated utility features that enabled exclusive fan experiences and collectible trading opportunities.
