• An NFT marketplace is a digital platform for buying and selling NFTs.
  • Some NFT marketplaces allow users to mint their own NFTs on the platform itself.
  • Top NFT marketplaces include OpenSea, Rarible, NBA Top Shot, Binance, Nifty Gateway, and SuperRare.

American business magazine company Forbes shared via tweet a list of top non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces this year.

In detail, the difference between an NFT marketplace usually varies from the system they own and how it operates. Also, according to the 2021 Market Report published by crypto data company Chainalysis, NFT has become more popular as the market has grown up to $40 billion in value.

Forbes has provided a list of the most popular and top-rated NFT marketplaces. Specifically, the list includes:

OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, offers a free and easy to set up platform that provides many popular NFTs including arts, music, photography, trading cards, and virtual worlds. It is the best choice for beginners and gives the most NFT options to its users.

Rarible allows users to buy and sell art, collectibles, video game assets, and NFTs via cryptocurrencies or credit cards. Also, it could be the best marketplace for users that want large network access.

NBA Top Shot marketplace allows users to buy great moments in basketball history, including video clips, play highlights, and art for NBA and WNBA. Furthermore, it is the best marketplace for major basketball fans.

Binance, the leading crypto exchange, added an NFT marketplace last year. Its marketplace offers artwork, gaming items, and collectibles to users. Binance also offers the lowest transaction fees on the list, it only takes away 1% and has a user-friendly marketplace similar to its exchange. 

Nifty Gateway is popular for providing expensive and exclusive NFT artworks from celebrities and top artists. It could be the best marketplace for those looking to make a large investment in NFT.

SuperRare offers high-end NFT artwork to its users. It considers itself an art gallery and could offer the best choice for those looking for pieces with a more classical style.

All of the NFT marketplaces have their own pros and cons. Yet, users usually choose a marketplace that provides them with their best needs and value for their purchase.
