The Top 15 NFT Newsletters of 2023

The Top NFT Newsletters of 2023 Include Overpriced JPEGs, Metaversal, and Forefront Newsletter

It’s no question that NFTs are here to stay, and with total 2022 NFT sales reaching almost $25 billion, and growing quickly, there are tons of opportunities in the space for both creators and investors. However, even for hardcore NFT enthusiasts looking to build a serious NFT collection, it can be challenging to keep up with new collections, new airdrops, new token standards, and other events and innovations in the NFT space. 

For that reason, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best NFT newsletters that you can use to get the latest NFT industry news, learn about the latest NFT drops, and NFT market trends, and, overall, help guide your NFT journey in the right direction.  

1. Overpriced JPEGs

Overpriced JPEGs with Carly Reilly is one of the most popular NFT newsletters in the industry, with over 135,000 monthly subscribers as of Q2 2023. Overpriced JPEGs is published by the crypto media project Bankless, which has its own extremely popular newsletter and podcast. 

The newsletter, which is generally published three times a week, includes interviews with NFT experts and others in the crypto space, as well as information about the latest NFT partnerships, including corporations and celebrities that have embraced NFTs. For this reason, Overpriced JPEGs can be a great option for both experienced NFT investors and beginners who want to make their NFT journey easier and stay informed about market updates and the latest trends. It also includes AMAs with NFT creators, such as artists and developers. In addition, Overpriced JPEGs is also a YouTube channel that hosts many of the interviews and AMAs featured in the newsletter.

Overpriced JPEGs also has a paid newsletter option, which provides users with in-depth NFT market analysis, NFT rankings through Carly’s proprietary NFT Power Index, and detailed advice for Web2 brands looking to successfully break into the NFT space. 

2. Metaversal

Like Overpriced JPEGs, William M. Peaster’s Metaversal newsletter is another popular NFT newsletter also part of the Bankless publishing network,. However, unlike Overpriced JPEGs, which 100% focuses on NFTs, Metaversal takes a broader look at all the latest news related to the crypto, NFT, and metaverse markets. 

Items discussed include NFT and blockchain domains, new token standards, and the rise (and fall) of various L1s and L2s (and their native NFTs). The newsletter also features in-depth, step-by-step guides on how to do various crypto, DeFi, and NFT activities– so you can get your hands dirty without having to figure out everything on your own. 

3. Forefront Newsletter

5. Rarible 

Rarible is one of the industry’s largest NFT marketplaces, supporting NFTs on a wide variety of blockchains, including Ethereum, Flow, ImmutableX, Polygon, Solana, Tezos. So, it’s no wonder that they have their own newsletter. The Rarible Newsletter is on Substack, and, yes, it does feature a lot of content that’s specific to Rarible. However, considering that Rarible is such a prominent NFT marketplace, a lot of information in the Rarible newsletter is actually important NFT news in its own right. 

6. Rug Radio
