Recent analytics have brought to light a substantial surge in the NFT sector, with weekly sales volumes climbing consistently. Nansen revealed that sales shot up to 68,342 Ether (ETH) in value, an equivalent of over $129 million, marking a period of robust activity within the market. This trend signals a notable shift in the NFT marketplace landscape.
The NFT trading space has seen Blur emerge as the dominant player over the past month, outshining OpenSea with a trading volume totaling 161,433 ETH.
OpenSea, however, remains a significant marketplace, securing second place with considerable trading activity. Within this bustling marketplace, the Bored Ape Yacht Club stands out with the highest trading volume, followed by other notable collections, such as the Mutant Ape Yacht Club and The Captainz, both making substantial sales.
While CryptoPunks leads in terms of market capitalization, its trading volume over the past month has not mirrored this status, indicating a contrast between market cap and liquidity.
Meanwhile, the number of NFT traders increased by 12% in just the last week, with the number of NFT owners stabilizing at around six million wallets.
While the month painted a prosperous picture for NFTs, it wasn’t without its challenges. OpenSea, for instance, laid off half of its staff in preparation for its next big move. However, the overwhelming trend suggests a robust and resilient NFT market.
