NFT Sales Break Free From Two-Month Dip
Following a persistent downturn in weekly sales over the past two months, this week witnessed a rebound in NFT sales. Approximately $70.51 million worth of NFT transactions were logged across almost two dozen blockchains. Ethereum reigned supreme in this week’s NFT trade volume with $36.96 million, marking a 16.09% escalation from the week before. With $36.96 million this week, Ethereum’s NFT sales account for 52.41% of the week’s aggregate. Statistics were recorded by the NFT aggregation site cryptoslam.io.
Ethereum’s NFT supremacy was trailed by Mythos, which recorded $9.54 million, a 5.61% uptick, and Solana, which posted $6.69 million, a sizable 25.31% jump. Immutable X ($4.99M) and Polygon ($3.86M) completed the top five, while Bitcoin ($2.99M) clinched the sixth spot in the NFT sales ranking this week.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) registered $4.31 million in sales, followed by Winds of Yawana, which raked in $3.57 million from NFT trades. Sorare took the fifth spot this week, with sales totaling $2.3 million. Over the seven-day period, roughly 1,602,001 NFT transactions were tracked, a 2.34% decrease from the previous week. The week’s highest-grossing NFT sale was Cryptopunk #9611, which fetched $250,556 two days ago. This sale was succeeded by a Cardano NFT named Cardanians Loyalty, which was purchased for $159,096.
