NFT marketplaces: 27 on NAUT, 18 with a funding round

By NAUT Research · · 6 min read

27 NFT marketplaces 18 with a funding round and 9 flagged with a live token on NAUT, read 12 November 2026. Logos: OpenSea, Magic Eden, Blur, Wilder World, Rarible, AlienSwap, Element, LooksRare, Prom, HoDooi.com, RealFevr, Tensor, NFT Alley, GhostMarket, BlueMove, HurricaneSwap.

NAUT tracks 27 NFT marketplaces, counted on 12 November 2026 as live project companies whose own description on NAUT says they run an NFT marketplace. 18 of the 27 have at least 1 funding round on NAUT's record and 9 carry NAUT's live-token flag, led by OpenSea, Magic Eden and Blur on money raised.

How this list was built: on 12 November 2026 NAUT read its own database for non-archived project companies whose stored description says NFT marketplace, and 31 rows matched. 4 were left out, each for a reason of its own: Trace Network Labs describes itself as a DeFi protocol, Ponder.One as a Web3 services aggregator, Blast as an Ethereum layer 2 chain, and CocoShop as a platform for building NFT marketplaces. The 27 that remain include games and social apps whose own description names an NFT marketplace as part of the product. Funding figures and round types are what each company's NAUT page holds. 8 claims about 6 of the 27 (OpenSea, Magic Eden, Blur, Tensor, LooksRare and Rarible) were put to outside sources and all 8 were confirmed; the other 21 rows are shown as NAUT holds them. The Token column shows NAUT's live-token flag and nothing more: 5 companies on the list ran an IDO or IEO on NAUT's record (RealFevr, NFT Alley, HurricaneSwap, Kally and Ordzaar) yet carry no flag, so 'No flag' means NAUT has not marked a live token, not that none exists. OpenSea's rounds carried no dates in the data read for this article, so it is left out of the chart and of the dated-round counts.
