**Dear Bankless Nation,**

While bitcoin is resting above $30k and the entire crypto market cap is up more than 50% from the start of the year, sentiment is feeling quite grim for investors *in the NFT sector*.

Floors are collapsing and some of the market's supposedly safe bets are down bad. This week, we're turning to our chief NFT analyst [William Peaster](https://twitter.com/WPeaster) who is laying out his top picks for NFT collections that have the momentum to survive the slowdown.

## The NFT Collections That *I Believe* Will Survive The Bear

Amid the doom and gloom, folks are wondering: *will my bags survive*?

There are no guarantees... Recall that CryptoKitties burst onto the scene in 2017 but were basically an afterthought in the 2021-2022 NFT bull run. Many top projects might be headed down a similar path towards mere historical significance – or outright irrelevance ☠️ The grand question is which NFT projects from this swell are best positioned to survive? Toward that end, I’ve developed a grading system that ranks NFT projects across a range of criteria, from project management to market activity to future prospects. 

After making a shortlist of some of the projects I'm most interested in right now, and applying ratings to a number of subfields, *I've come up with my list of 8 NFT projects poised to survive this bear*. There are some reliable classics on here as well as some more surprising newcomers that are showing they have what it takes.

**Why should you care what I have to say? **Great question – well** **I've been Bankless's lead analyst covering the NFT space throughout this bull run and I spend the majority of my time tracking this industry in our *Metaversal newsletter*.
