Bitcoin NFTs jump 29%, defying sector-wide slump



In this post:
Bitcoin NFT prices surged by 29%, challenging the trend of a broader market decline. The NFT market saw its overall sales plummet by 8.78% to $77.46 million. Just a few hours ago, a Bored Ape non-fungible token collection sold for over $1.4 million.


Bitcoin NFT sales have skyrocketed by 29.36%, reaching $16.78 million, showing a spot in an otherwise gloomy market performance. In the past week, the digital collectibles market struggled, bringing in over $77 million, reflecting an 8.78% decline.


Ethereum and Solana are following Bitcoin’s lead

Ethereum-based NFT sales remained strong at $27 million, with an uptick of 4.95%. Bitcoin NFTs came in second with $16.78 million in sales. Meanwhile, the Solana NFT market saw significant growth, too, reaching $11.38 million, with a 2% increase in sales volume.

These blockchain ecosystems showcase resilience amidst a downturn affecting the broader blockchain industry when compared with the exponential rise of Bitcoin NFT transactions.

Mythos’ Dmarket was the best-selling NFT collection, bringing in slightly over $5 million. DMarket registered more than $600,000 worth of transactions and processes, and more than 25,000 transactions involved in-game assets. This has led to its establishment as one of the largest NFT collections in the world.

Despite leading the pack, Dmarket experienced a 64.26% decline from the previous week. Bitcoin Puppets came in second with $3.46 million, up 78.52%, while Immutable X’s Guild of Guardians was third with $2.94 million, down more than 6%.

Bored Ape Yacht Club drives high-value sales 

The priciest NFT sale last week was the purchase of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) #7940 for $1.43 million. This gigantic sale has pushed the total Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT sales volume up over 900% in the past 24 hours.

While specific collections and blockchains saw gains, the overall drop in NFT sales signals a changing landscape for digital collectibles. Once characterized by meteoric rises and sudden falls, the non-fungible token market continues to showcase strong resilience.

Last month, nftevening.com published a research that exposed the alarming situation of the non-fungible token market, with 96% of NFTs declared dead. The paper examined 5,000 NFT collections and 5 million transactions to determine the current state of NFTs. This analysis emphasized the high prevalence of unprofitability among NFT holders and the short duration of the bulk of NFT collections. This report may seem less relevant as the NFT market continues to experience positive growth.
