As an analyst with a background in blockchain technology and market trends, I have closely monitored the recent developments in the NFT market. The data from Cryptoslam indicates a clear downward momentum in key metrics such as sales volumes, unique sellers, and buyers. This decline is alarming given the strong start the NFT market experienced in Q1 2024 with sales volumes exceeding $4 billion.
The data from Cryptoslam reveals that the robust NFT market, which was once thriving, has started to slow down. Key performance indicators such as sales volume, unique sellers, and buyers have all taken a dip.
The ongoing rough patch in Bitcoin markets has been blamed for the decline in NFT volume.
NFT Volumes Downward Momentum
Based on statistics from Cryptoslam, there was a noticeable drop in the NFT market’s monthly transactions during the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the previous quarter. The sales volume decreased by approximately 45%.
In the opening three months of 2024, NFT market sales surpassed $4.1 billion – a notable jump from the $2.9 billion transacted in the same period the previous year. Yet, the second quarter of 2024 witnessed a considerable decline in NFT sales volumes, with approximately $2.28 billion traded during this timeframe – marking the lowest figure since Q3 2023.
According to the available data, there has been a substantial drop in the average sale price of NFTs during June. The figure stood at $193 in March but fell to $78, representing a decrease of around 60%. By June 28th, sales volumes amounted to roughly $419 million. This places June among the months with the lowest recorded sales values since October 2023.
In May, sales amounted to slightly more than $616 million, marking a significant decrease of approximately 53% compared to the $1.2 billion recorded in April.
The decline in sales isn’t limited to decreasing volumes; other indicators such as the number of unique sellers and buyers are also showing a downturn. In the first quarter, we had approximately 2.24 million unique sellers and 3.32 million unique buyers. However, in the second quarter, these figures dropped to 1.79 million unique sellers and 3.3 million unique buyers, representing a small decrease compared to the previous quarter.
NFT Milestones Amid Bitcoin’s Downturn
In the face of a substantial decrease, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have made impressive strides in the year 2024. According to CryptoPotato, the sales volume of NFTs built on the Solana platform exceeded $5 billion on February 23.
Bitcoins associated with NFTs have recently taken the third spot in terms of total sales volume, overtaking the Ronin network.
The downturn in the NFT market has occurred hand in hand with Bitcoin’s disappointing performance; following its peak in March 2024, Bitcoin has found it challenging to recover, sinking as low as $57,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $61,327, and industry specialists urge investors to exercise caution before purchasing more of the cryptocurrency.
