Is now the right time for MintInBio?
Yes.
We need only look at the market demand for link-in-bio creator tools & platforms, and the recent renewed interest in NFTs and corresponding jump in NFT activity & sales.
The trending market forces on link-in-bio tools & platforms:
It's some of the internet's most important real estate. And there's a land grab going on. — Links in bio work. As creators have embraced more platforms, they're looking for more ways to bring their brand and content together and help connect audiences across those platforms. — That has created a high-stakes, fast-moving race among link-in-bio tools. Some see it as the future of websites, simpler and more cross-platform. Others see it more like the next operating system, a launcher for a creator's many tools and platforms. All see a huge opportunity, and one they don't want to miss. *(reference.)
Platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are “no-brainers” for discovery, Monica Austin, Linktree's CMO, told Insider. Creators who have audiences on these social media platforms are utilizing the link-in-bio so people can discover their off-platform communities, such as redirecting followers through a button to a Discord group or newsletter. *(reference.)
There are link-in-bio startups that gives tools for monetization, including Australia-based Linktree, a16z-backed Beacon and CRV and Crossfeed Ventures-backed Snipfeed. Then, there are Patreon competitors like Fanfix for Gen Z creator monetization and a16z-backed Fanhouse — both of which bank on non-NSFW content. *(reference.)

The Top 10 NFT Projects
The floor-based valuation of the top 10 NFT projects is now $3bn, up 71% from a month ago. *(reference.)
NFT Trading Volume Jumped 32%
“The yearlong downward trend in NFT trading has been broken,” DappRadar wrote, noting that NFT trading volume increased 32% from $306 million in September to $405 million last month.
NFT trading volumes across a breadth of blockchains that support the class of tokens are captured in DappRadar’s report. And across all networks, a 50% jump in NFT trading volume on Ethereum—crypto’s second-largest coin—kept it “leading the pack,” DappRadar said.
As the flow of JPEGs grew in October, the floor price—or cheapest listed NFT on a secondary marketplace—for some popular PFP projects increased as well. For example, the floor price of NFTs from the aforementioned Bored Ape Yacht Club rose from $40,000 worth of Ethereum to around $55,000. *(reference.)
