Documented cause
Tokkies launched as a 10,000-piece African-inspired NFT profile picture collection in 2021, riding the BAYC wave in the South African crypto community. It sold out its initial collection and briefly traded at a premium. When the NFT market collapsed in 2022-2023, floor prices fell 95%+ across all non-Ethereum blue-chip collections. Tokkies trading volume went to zero, the founding team dissolved, and the project was abandoned with no roadmap updates.
Lesson
“Regional NFT projects outside the Ethereum blue-chip ecosystem have zero defensive moat: when market sentiment reverses, liquidity disappears completely because there is no utility, no brand, and no floor buyer of last resort.”
