Over the past five weeks, a noticeable uptick in NFT sales volume recovery has been observed, marking a reversal from a previous slump that occurred after the NFT market experienced a boom. The good news is that this resurgence is happening concurrently with a bullish trend in the broader crypto market.
A Positive Shift in the NFT Market
According to a tweet by Nansen, the NFT market is regaining traction. Their data shows a consistent increase in NFT volume over the past five weeks. From a low point in the week ending October 9, 2023, where the weekly volume of NFTs was 29,704 ETH, the volume has surged to 68,342 ETH just a month later.
As the popularity of the NFT market began to rise again, CryptoDep, a prominent crypto space update provider, revealed the top NFT projects based on social activity. FLOKI, VRA, GMT, and SAND emerged as the top four NFT projects by social activity as of November 6th.
Ethereum NFTs Witnessing Growth
While the overall market was growing, Ethereum (ETH), a significant player in the NFT sector, also experienced growth. According to Dune’s data, the daily volume of ETH NFTs has been on an upward trajectory. Along with this, trade counts on the blockchain have also increased over the past few weeks, signifying a growing number of NFT traders since mid-October 2023.
Among the collections contributing most to this growth, CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Mutant Ape Yacht Club have been the top NFTs on the ETH blockchain in the last 24 hours. CrypToadz and The Captainz also made it to the top five on the list.
Polygon and Solana NFTs Showing Similar Trends
Other than Ethereum, Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL) are two other leading blockchains in the NFT ecosystem that have also experienced growth. For instance, the sales volume of Solana NFTs increased by 9% over the last week. However, despite the increase in sales volume, the total transactions of Solana NFTs fell by 23% during the same period.
In a similar vein, Polygon’s sales volume spiked by over 8%. Unlike Solana, Polygon’s total transactions also rose by 12% last week, according to CRYPTOSLAM.
Interestingly, both Solana and Polygon saw a substantial spike in total trade volume and trade counts on November 6th, 2023, according to Santiment.
Bitcoin (BTC), although a recent entrant into the NFT ecosystem, has also seen a surge in popularity. The number of daily Ordinals has been on an upward trend since October 25th, reflecting the growth of BTC NFTs.
While the performance of the NFT space in these blockchains appears promising, it’s interesting to note the state of these cryptos’ prices. BTC and ETH’s growth momentum seems to have slowed down, with their prices moving up by only 0.2% and 0.8% in the last 24 hours, respectively. In contrast, MATIC and SOL saw their prices spike by 3% and 45% during the same period.
