Despite the growth of the digital art market, it still faces several challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of regulation and standards for digital art authentication. There are also issues of ownership and copyright infringement in the digital art space, with digital art being easily copied or manipulated. The authenticity of digital art is also difficult to establish, which could pose a risk to collectors.

Despite the challenges, there are many opportunities for artists and investors in the digital art market. Digital art presents new revenue streams for artists through the sale of digital art and NFTs. They have become increasingly popular in the digital art market, with some NFT sales reaching millions of dollars. The digital art market also presents an opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolios and potentially earn high returns on investment.
