Weekly NFT Sales Reach $109 Million Despite Declining Participants

In the NFT market, sales have reached $109 million, showing a notable shift in the last week. 21% more trades were made than there were sellers, even though there were fewer buyers overall (2,435,539 trades). This indicates strong activity even in the face of lower participation.

Ethereum and Polygon Dominate NFT Transactions

Ethereum maintained its dominance in NFT sales, generating $32.7 million, even amidst concerns about wash trading. Polygon, on the other hand, saw a remarkable 90% rise in its NFT trading volume, surpassing Bitcoin and Solana with $24 million in sales, including $3.1 million from wash trading, despite a nearly 79% drop in NFT buyers.

With weekly NFT sales over $24 million, Polygon made a strong comeback, outpacing both Solana and Bitcoin. Polygon saw a striking 90% growth in trading volume in spite of a notable decline of purchasers, reaffirming its status as an emerging force in the industry.

Decline in Solana and Bitcoin NFT Sales

Solana secured the third spot with $22.7 million in NFT sales, despite a slight 2% decline from the previous week. Increased wash trading contributed to marginal improvements, while Solana maintained the highest number of unique buyers among top blockchains.

Bitcoin faced challenges in asserting its presence in the NFT realm, generating $15.1 million in sales. Despite efforts to diversify, Bitcoin experienced a 5% decrease in sales, underscoring ongoing competition from other blockchain networks.

The NFT market’s $109 million weekly sales indicate resilience amidst declining participation. Ethereum and Polygon remain leaders despite challenges, while Solana and Bitcoin face continued pressure to adapt. High-profile collections on emerging platforms underscore shifting dynamics in NFT trading, pointing towards continued evolution in blockchain-based digital assets.
