NFT Market Cools Off But Some Collections Are On Fire!
The NFT (non-fungible token) scene just threw a curveball! Even as the overall market takes a nosedive, some collections like Pudgy Penguins and DX Terminal are breaking records, defying gravity, and sparking FOMO among crypto fans.
Latest numbers reveal NFT sales have plunged 34% this week dropping to $169.7 million, according to CryptoSlam. Even with this big drop, NFT transactions actually edged up by almost 2% to hit just over 1.9 million. Talk about a market full of contradictions!
DX Terminal and Pudgy Penguins Lead the Pack
Despite the market blues, DX Terminal is having a blockbuster week on the Base blockchain. Sales jumped over 50%, raking in a massive $13 million! This collection saw a whopping 570,066 transactions, drawing in nearly 170,000 unique buyers and sellers.
CryptoPunks, a well-known Ethereum collection, slipped to number two with $11.06 million in sales a 37% plunge from last week. DMarket stayed in third, only slipping 3% with $7.72 million. Avalanche’s Pharaoh V3 Non Fungible staged a jaw-dropping comeback, shooting up 41,365% to hit $7.34 million in sales!
And don’t miss Pudgy Penguins. This collection waddled its way to $6.63 million in sales a nearly 17% boost proving it’s still a fan favorite. Bored Ape Yacht Club also posted a surprise, rising 90% to reach $5.3 million.
Ethereum Still #1, But Faces Fierce Competition
Ethereum may still dominate the NFT landscape, leading all blockchains with $86.46 million in sales, but that’s a 9% drop from last week. The number of buyers plummeted by 81%, with just over 19,500 active participants.
Other blockchains are making waves. Base held the second spot, with sales up almost 40% to $15.56 million, even though its buyers fell by two-thirds. Bitcoin NFTs spiked 21% to $14 million, but the number of buyers collapsed nearly 87%.
Meanwhile, Avalanche NFTs skyrocketed 373% to $10.63 million, and Solana stayed stable at $7.58 million. However, sharp drops in buyer numbers were seen everywhere—a clear sign the market is shifting, not shrinking entirely.
