NFT trading sales have slightly pumped in the past few weeks. The NFT market prices began surging last month, shortly after the flagship NFT marketplace Blur launched its NFT lending platform called “Blend.”

The new NFT lending platform, which allows traders to maximize NFT liquidity by allowing buyers to put up collateral for their token purchases, was part of a strategic plan to reclaim market dominance from the OpenSea NFT marketplace.
