On December 21, data tracking platform CryptoSlam reported that Ethereum-based NFTs experienced a 76% increase week-on-week, reaching $201 million in sales. This represents 66% of the total NFT sales volume over the past seven days.

In comparison, Bitcoin-based NFTs recorded $40 million in sales, while Solana-based collections reached $29 million in sales. Mythos Chain, Immutable, Polygon, and BNB Chain collectively recorded a weekly volume of $25.9 million.

This weekly record also surpassed the previous NFT sales record of $296 million set in September, when digital collectibles saw their lowest monthly sales volume since 2021.

Ethereum Collections Lead the NFT Rankings

Last week, seven out of the top 10 NFT collections by sales volume were Ethereum-based.

Pudgy Penguins collection topped the week with a sales volume of $54.4 million.

In second place was the project’s LilPudgys collection, which recorded approximately $20 million in sales.

7 Out of The Top 10 NFT Collections For The Week Are Ethereum-based Collections

The Azuki NFT collection saw a 130% increase compared to last week, reaching $18 million in sales volume.

The project’s Azuki Elementals collection recorded a 226% week-on-week increase, achieving $7 million in sales.

Popular NFT collections like Doodles and CryptoPunks also made it into the top 10 collections by sales volume last week. Doodles recorded $13 million, while CryptoPunks achieved a sales volume of $7.4 million.

NFTs Maintain Momentum from Early December

NFT weekly volumes have been strong since the beginning of December. Digital collectibles recorded $187 million in sales during the first week of the month, with the Pudgy Penguins collection leading the week with $25 million in sales.

While Pudgy Penguins NFTs dominate in volume, the collection’s crypto token has not shared the same success. On December 17, the Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) token dropped by over 50% after its launch.

According to CoinGecko data, the token is currently trading at $0.03, which is about a 55% decrease from its peak price.

In just 21 days, December’s NFT sales volume reached $678 million, surpassing the previous month’s record of $562 million.

This sales record makes December the highest-performing month for NFTs since May, when the market saw $602 million in sales.

The post Ethereum NFT Collections’ Weekly Volume Surges to $304 Million! appeared first on Coin Engineer.

According to a report by NFT data tracker CryptoSlam!, the sales performance between September 30 and October 6 closely matches the late August weekly peak of $93 million. However, overall, the sales volume of NFTs is still much lower compared to the massive growth period seen in 2021. During the peak week of August 23-29, 2021, NFT sales volume exceeded $2.2 billion, marking a historic milestone.

Uneven Performance Across Blockchains

Despite the recovery in sales volume, some of the largest blockchains, especially Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, recorded declines in transaction volumes. However, smaller chains posted significant gains. Notably, Mythos Chain saw an increase of over 6,000%, reaching $15 million in weekly sales and securing the second spot after Ethereum. Similarly, Polygon remained in the green with a 210% weekly increase, continuing its impressive performance.

Among NFT collections, Dmarket stood out, becoming the top-selling collection of the week with a total of 537,714 transactions, generating over $14 million in sales. These figures demonstrate that Dmarket has quickly become one of the most active projects in the NFT space.

Growth in NFT Buyers and Transaction Volumes

The resurgence in the ecosystem wasn’t limited to sales volume alone. According to CryptoSlam!, over 839,000 NFT buyers joined the market in the past seven days, reflecting a 22% increase compared to the previous week. Additionally, there was a significant rise in transaction numbers, with over two million transactions recorded, marking a 71% increase from the previous week.

This growth could be interpreted as a signal of renewed momentum in the NFT ecosystem. The rise in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, the increase in total value locked (TVL), and the surge in the number of NFT buyers indicate stronger market participation.

The Future of the NFT Market and Challenges

Despite signs of recovery, the market still faces a challenging path throughout 2024. According to CryptoSlam!, total sales in September reached $303 million, falling short of August’s $373 million volume. However, the $1.6 billion sales volume recorded in March 2024 remains the strongest performance of the year so far.

Nonetheless, there are significant hurdles to achieving long-term sustainable growth in the market. NFT analysts predict that 96% of existing NFT collections will be discarded by the end of 2024, with many expected to exit the market by 2023. The average lifespan of an NFT collection is just over a year.

These insights underscore the importance of innovation and creating long-lasting projects in the NFT space. The market’s future growth will depend not only on the durability of current projects but also on the rapid introduction of new and creative solutions into the ecosystem.
