NFT Sales Surge: Market Rebounds with Impressive Gains
In a remarkable turnaround, non-fungible token (NFT) sales have regained momentum, posting significant gains after a series of consecutive declines. Data from leading industry tracker CryptoSlam reveals a surge of 28.1% in global NFT sales volume within the past 24 hours. The market currently stands at a robust $38.2 million, indicating a renewed appetite for these digital collectibles.
The resurgence extends to NFT transactions, which have also witnessed a substantial 26.2% increase to reach 249,125. However, CryptoSlam reports a decrease in NFT wash volume by 15.2%, currently estimated at $10.6 million.
Bitcoin has emerged as the driving force behind this market rebound, boasting a 44% jump in its daily NFT trading volume. At the time of writing, Bitcoin accounts for approximately $15.9 million of the total volume. Notably, the cryptocurrency has also recorded $77,955 in wash trades over the last 24 hours.
Ethereum trails closely behind with a daily NFT sales volume of $10.9 million, following a 32% surge. Ordinals, a protocol for inscribing data onto Bitcoin's blockchain, has also experienced a significant upswing. Sales on this platform have nearly doubled in the past 24 hours, reaching $4.47 million in a total of 2,157 transactions.
Amidst this bullish trend, Blur, the leading NFT marketplace, has seen a modest decline in its trading volume by 11%. According to DappRadar, Blur's total NFT sales volume currently stands at $14.14 million, with an average price of around $2,930.
Magic Eden, OKX NFT Marketplace, and OpenSea have been major contributors to the overall surge in global NFT sales, registering increases of 48.45%, 63.15%, and 18.66%, respectively, within the past 24 hours.
Industry experts remain cautiously optimistic about the NFT market's trajectory. Nicolás Lallement, co-founder of NFT Price Floor, attributes the comeback to the ultra-low layer-2 transaction fees introduced by the Dencun upgrade and the recent surge in meme coins.
These factors have reignited interest in NFTs and could potentially lead to a sustained revival of the ecosystem. Investors are advised to monitor market conditions closely and exercise due diligence before making any NFT purchases.
