Ethereum Reclaims NFT Market Dominance from Bitcoin
Ethereum, the largest blockchain network for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), has regained its dominance in the NFT market. Earlier this month, Bitcoin had surpassed Ethereum in NFT trading volume during a short market rally for BRC-20 NFTs.
Data from CryptoSlam.io, an on-chain data aggregator, reveals that Ethereum-based NFTs are currently the most traded, surpassing Bitcoin-based NFTs which had dominated the market for the past three weeks.
Ethereum Outperforms Bitcoin in NFT Sales Volume
In the last 24 hours, Ethereum-based NFTs have recorded a trading sales volume of $13 million, while Bitcoin-based NFTs have only amassed $5 million. This means that Ethereum’s NFT sales volume is more than double that of Bitcoin.
Solana and Immutable X are the third and fourth most traded NFT collections respectively, with sales volumes of $1.7 million and $806,456. However, Solana-based NFT sales volumes have decreased by 12% in the past 24 hours, while Immutable X is down 1%.
Mythos Chain-based NFT collections rank fifth in terms of trading volume, with a total sales volume of $750,979. These collections account for 1.49% of overall sales across all blockchain networks, which have reached $23 million.
