Magic Eden's Story
Magic Eden, launched in September 2021, quickly established itself as a leading NFT marketplace, initially focusing on the Solana blockchain before expanding to support Ethereum, Polygon and Bitcoin. By 2022, it became the second-largest NFT marketplace, closely competing with OpenSea. The platform gained widespread attention after integrating Bitcoin Ordinals, a move that set it apart from competitors like Blur and OpenSea.
In 2024, Magic Eden solidified its position as the top NFT marketplace, commanding 36.7% of the global market and seeing a major resurgence in trading volumes. Currently, the marketplace continues to evolve with ongoing developments like cross-chain trading capabilities and an expanding gaming ecosystem.
