NFT Sales Fell 30% Last Week

In the wake of the flagship crypto Bitcoin’s recent new all-time high, the bullish crypto market sentiment has shifted from initially hyped non-fungible token collections to other crypto assets, the memecoins, with several new and old coins pumping 100x or more in a matter of weeks.

The crypto market retested the bull run earlier this month and has left the flagship crypto, Bitcoin, reaching new record heights of above 73,000 for the first time in crypto history. Unfortunately, the crypto market craze has left the NFT market underperforming after collectors somewhat shifted attention away from the sector. In this article, we shall assess whether the NFT market will retest revival.

Data fetched by cryptoslam.io, an on-chain market data aggregator, shows that the global non-fungible token market lost traction last week, and its trading sales volume slightly dropped. In the past seven days, the NFT market has amassed a sales volume of $247 million, representing a 30% drop from the previous week.
