NFT Market Shows Growth
This surge in sales comes after months of decline in the digital collectible sector. In October, NFT sales amounted to $356 million, an 18% increase from September, when sales had dropped to about $300 million, signaling the end of a seven-month downturn.
Additionally, NFT transactions also saw a rise in October, reaching a total of 7.2 million, marking a 42% increase from the previous month.
The surge in NFT sales aligns with the broader crypto market rally. Following the U.S. presidential elections, crypto markets saw a significant jump, with Bitcoin leading the way. On November 13, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $93,477, and as of now, it is trading around $91,000, with a market capitalization of $1.8 trillion.
NFT market continues to thrive, driven by powerful blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin, and fueled by the ongoing crypto market momentum. Expect more growth and innovation in the coming periods.
