CryptoSlam Data Shows Decline in NFT Sales and Trading Volume
The non-fungible token (NFT) sector is currently experiencing a bearish momentum, as evidenced by the decline in global NFT sales and trading volume. According to data provided by CryptoSlam, NFT sales have plunged by 26% in the past 24 hours, with the trading volume currently standing at $58.2 million. This drop can be attributed to investors shifting their focus to cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum and Bitcoin Lead NFT Sales
Despite the overall decline in the NFT market, the Ethereum network remains at the forefront with $23.5 million in NFT sales over the past 24 hours. Following closely behind is Bitcoin, with a trading volume of $20 million.
NodeMonkes, a Bitcoin-based digital collection released in December 2023, has emerged as the top seller in the past 24 hours, generating over $5 million in sales. This has allowed NodeMonkes to surpass popular NFT collections such as Ordinals, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), and Pandora.
Decline in Number of Buyers and Sellers

🔥 Hot Take: Declining NFT Sales Reflect Shifting Investor Interest 🔥
The recent decline in global NFT sales and trading volume signifies a shift in investor interest from non-fungible tokens to cryptocurrencies. While Ethereum continues to dominate the NFT market, Bitcoin-based collections like NodeMonkes have emerged as top sellers.
This downturn is accompanied by a decrease in both the number of buyers and sellers within the NFT ecosystem. Additionally, popular marketplaces like Blur and Magic Eden have experienced a decline in trading volume, while OpenSea has fallen from its previous position as the largest NFT marketplace.
Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency sector has been thriving, with Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs. This contrast indicates that investors are currently prioritizing cryptocurrencies over NFTs.
As the market evolves, it will be interesting to see how these trends continue to shape the future of both NFTs and cryptocurrencies.
