Who still talks about NFTs these days? The once sky-high darling has long become a hidden image file, with project teams rushing to pivot or shut down, even conferences like NFT Paris have announced cancellations. After three or four years of continuous decline, hot money has long fled, and the story no longer holds—"NFT is dead" has become a consensus.
But this week, the NFT market suddenly saw a small turnaround.
According to CoinGecko data, in the first week of 2026, the overall market capitalization of NFTs increased by over $220 million. More interestingly, NFT Price Floor statistics show that just in this week, hundreds of NFT projects experienced price rebounds, with some projects seeing gains of three or even four digits. For those who held on during the bear market, this kind of market feels like a dream.
Has NFTs really come back to life? What are those still in the game playing now? This is a question worth pondering.

Damn, is this for real? Can those old crappy pictures I have still turn around?
Haha, I told you I won't die, just waiting for the right moment.
Three- or four-digit gains, who can resist this temptation...
But seriously, how far can this rebound go? Is anyone still holding?
Here we go again, the same old story, can it have a better ending this time?
Wait, how do those who bailed early feel now...
Let me do the math, is the 220 million really genuine or just a show before cutting the leeks?
Honestly, who's pushing this rebound? Is it a new story or just old players hyping it up?

Damn, is this rebound real? A three-digit increase? I need to check those hidden crappy pictures I have.
Just a few years of decline and now it's turning around? This market is really surreal.
Wait, what kind of mentality is holding on stubbornly? Do we really have to gamble on this wave?
But on the other hand, no one has talked about NFTs for so long, and a sudden rebound feels a bit strange.
The market cap has risen by 220 million, is that a big or small increase? I wonder who is rushing in.
What stories are left for NFTs now? I'm really curious who is still playing with them.

Wait, a $220 million increase? That number needs to be adjusted for the rebound. Most projects with three- or four-digit gains are just rebounds of trash coins that fell from the floor price. Don't be fooled.

No way, are my hidden stash of crappy pictures about to turn around?
I've been holding on for over three years just for this week, I must be dreaming and waking up laughing.
Someone's secretly trying to buy the dip, otherwise why would it suddenly rebound?
NFTs, you see, it's not the project itself that dies, it's the storytelling ability that dies.
If it really comes back to life, the chives will be harvested again—this is a problem, bro.

Alright, this rebound is really unsustainable. It feels like someone is about to go all-in again.
After being bearish for so long, a three-digit increase suddenly appears. Many people should be waking up from their dream now.
By the way, how likely is it that it's truly coming back to life? Or is this just another round of chopping the leeks?
People who have held on for so many years must be feeling completely shattered right now.
Last year they were in the coffin, and this week they’re already bouncing back. NFT really is something else.
For those who have been hyping the future of NFTs, why are they starting to talk about it again now?
I just want to know who is buying. It must be some new leeks, right?
Wait, my collection really can turn around, right?

Wait, it went up again? I thought this thing was really done for, but the brothers who bought the dip might be about to turn things around.

Uh… Is this rebound another chance to cut the leeks?
---
It took three years of holding through the bear market to see this little movement. I think it's just big players shaking out positions.
---
$220 million sounds like a lot, but the total NFT market cap has already evaporated billions...
---
Hundreds of projects rebounding? Feels like it's just a few old projects hyping themselves up.
---
Coming back to life? I think it's just the last gasp before death.
---
Three or four-digit gains, may I ask how much they fell from?
---
NFT Paris has been canceled, which shows what everyone already knows.
---
Honestly, those still playing are probably just people who got caught and are trying to keep their spirits up.
---
When the story can't be told anymore, it can only rely on data to bluff people.
---
Anyway, my Owl NFT was already sold off, so what does this rebound have to do with me?

Wait a minute, is this rebound real or are we about to get rug pulled again?
Someone is sleepwalking again, a three- or four-digit increase just sounds suspicious.
Why are the dead players still waiting? They should have accepted their fate by now.
NFTs, can they really turn things around? I think it's doubtful.

Wait, did it rebound again? Or is it just those guys buying the dip from each other?
Hundreds or thousands of percent gains, just hear it and forget it. I've seen this trick too many times.
Those holding on until now are either gamblers or broke and trying to escape.
