We investigate the motivations behind non-fungible token (NFT) ownership. Utilizing survey data from NFT owners, we identify four distinct groups based on their primary motivations: (1) Utilizers, who emphasize functional uses; (2) Socializers, motivated by community and networking; (3) Speculators, focused on profit potential; and (4) Aesthetes, who appreciate artistic and cultural aspects. Our analysis indicates that individual traits such as risk-taking, impulsivity, and investment knowledge significantly influence group membership. These findings suggest that NFT users are a diverse cohort with varied motivations rather than a homogeneous group. |
