I find the logic a bit strained,

get a loan -> buy NFT -> sell NFT cycle was sustained by 1000% rises in the NFT prices, not by the 0% interest rates of the loans.

Hence my incredulity towards the claim that 0% interest caused the NFT boom.

No, it wouldn't be the cause, but it is probably a contributing factor.

Lower loan rates increase the number of people who both are willing to risk taking out a loan to buy something on FOMO grounds, and who are offered the opportunity to take out a loan in the first place.

Lower loan rates also allow easy access to the money needed for wash trades and the like that allowed NFT (and cryptocurrency) market manipulation.

Chicken or the egg? Maybe nft prices went up because people had a bunch of free money that they had nothing better to do with
