Animoca Brands 董事长 Yat Siu 认为，不可替代代币（NFT）将会卷土重来，并且表现会比 2021 年巅峰时期更好。

Siu 在阿布扎比举行的比特币 MENA 活动上接受 Cointelegraph 采访时表示，NFT 将比 2021 年和 2022 年“规模更大”。

Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu is bullish on the future of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), despite the recent closure of several NFT projects and a decline in sales volumes.

尽管最近关闭了多个 NFT 项目且销量下降，但 Animoca Brands 董事长 Yat Siu 还是看好不可替代代币 (NFT) 的未来。

In an interview with Cointelegraph at the Bitcoin (BTC) MENA event in Abu Dhabi on Dec. 2, Siu expressed optimism that NFTs will make a comeback and perform even better than they did during their peak in 2021.

12 月 2 日，Siu 在阿布扎比举行的比特币 (BTC) MENA 活动上接受 Cointelegraph 采访时，他乐观地认为 NFT 将卷土重来，并表现得比 2021 年巅峰时期更好。

“I think NFTs will come back even bigger than 2021, 2022. At that time, the NFT monthly volumes were ranging from, let’s say, $1 billion to $5 billion, peaking at $6 billion in January 2022, according to data tracker CryptoSlam.

“我认为 NFT 的回归规模将比 2021 年、2022 年更大。根据数据追踪公司 CryptoSlam 的数据，当时 NFT 的月交易量从 10 亿美元到 50 亿美元不等，在 2022 年 1 月达到峰值 60 亿美元。

NFT sales volumes have struggled to reach even $1 billion this year, and some projects that were expected to succeed have decided to close down. On Nov. 26, Kraken wound down its NFT business, while the Nike-owned NFT project RTFKT announced on Dec. 2 that it would shut down operations in January.

今年 NFT 的销售额甚至难以达到 10 亿美元，一些原本有望成功的项目也决定关闭。 11 月 26 日，Kraken 关闭了 NFT 业务，而耐克旗下的 NFT 项目 RTFKT 则于 12 月 2 日宣布将于 1 月份关闭运营。

However, Siu remains bullish on NFTs, telling Cointelegraph that failures are a natural part of business and that some projects will succeed while others will fail.

然而，Siu 仍然看好 NFT，他告诉 Cointelegraph，失败是商业的自然组成部分，有些项目会成功，而另一些项目则会失败。

“Like what happened with RTFKT, that’s pretty terrible. It’s really disappointing, but it’s just one project that didn’t make it. I think some will fail, some will work, but to me, that’s a normal cycle,” he said.

“就像 RTFKT 发生的事情一样，这非常糟糕。确实令人失望，但这只是一个项目没有成功。我认为有些会失败，有些会起作用，但对我来说，这是一个正常的循环，”他说。

Siu added that he believes NFTs will continue to emerge as status goods, which people will spend money on as their reputation improves.

Siu 补充说，他相信 NFT 将继续作为地位商品出现，随着声誉的提高，人们会花钱购买。

“People spend money on luxury goods. They buy a Rolex, right? Or a Picasso painting. These things convey cultural capital, symbolic capital. So when people make money, what do they do? They spend on reputation,” he explained.

“人们花钱购买奢侈品。他们买劳力士，对吗？或者毕加索的画。这些东西传达着文化资本、象征资本。那么当人们赚钱的时候，他们会做什么呢？他们把钱花在声誉上，”他解释道。

“If I improve my reputation, I get more opportunities. It’s a different type, right? If I own a Picasso, I have a reputation that’s very special. So I think it’s the same with Bored Apes, Pudgy Penguins, CryptoPunks, and all that. I think NFTs will come back even bigger.”

“如果我提高自己的声誉，我就会获得更多机会。这是不同的类型，对吧？如果我拥有一幅毕加索的作品，我的声誉就会非常特别。所以我认为《Bored Apes》、《Pudgy Penguins》、《CryptoPunks》等等都是一样的。我认为 NFT 回归后会变得更大。”
