NFTs Could Hit Lowest Monthly Sales in 9 Months

by

As a researcher who has closely followed the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market for the past year, I find the recent downturn in trading volumes quite concerning. According to data from CryptoSlam, July is shaping up to be the lowest monthly volume month for NFTs this year, with a paltry $393 million in sales so far. This follows an 8-month low of $450 million in sales during the previous month.

Recent data from CryptoSlam’s July 29 report reveals that the non-fungible token (NFT) market is experiencing relatively low volumes in July, with a total monthly transaction value of approximately $393 million. On an average daily basis, NFTs are currently trading below $14 million.

Based on the data provided, it seems that July could have the smallest trading volume for NFTs this year. In other words, if current trends continue, July’s NFT sales may be the least active month in 2021.

In the past month, NFTs experienced a significant decrease in sales volume, reaching a low of $450 million – the lowest since November 2023.

Based on recent trends, it appears that this month may not surpass the poor performance of the previous one in terms of NFT sales. This is due to the fact that data indicates a significant decline in NFT market activity since the second quarter of 2024. Specifically, there was a substantial decrease of around 51% from Q1 to Q2, with sales dropping from $4.1 billion to $2.24 billion.

Hope Emerges for NFTs

Despite a substantial decrease in trading activity during the initial part of July, NFT markets have shown some revival. The data from CryptoSlam reveals that there has been a modest uptick in transaction volumes this month. Approximately 9.9 million NFT transactions have taken place so far in July, representing a substantial jump of nearly 73% compared to the 5.7 million transactions recorded in June.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that while the volume of NFT (Non-Fungible Token) transactions is currently lower than what we’ve seen in the past, the increasing number of these transactions leaves me feeling hopeful. This trend is causing a ripple effect among experts in the field, who are already expressing optimistic views about the future potential of NFTs.

Despite some experts raising concerns about the recent decline in popularity of NFTs, their significance remains undeniable.

For example, SuperRare’s co-founder Jonathan Perkins stated in a public forum that the functionality of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) remains unchanged. Remarkably, CryptoSlam’s founder Randy Wasinger echoes Perkins’ views. Wasinger admitted that certain NFT applications may have peaked and could fade away from the marketplace. However, he emphasized that NFTs will persist as a significant token standard, a fixture in the digital economy.

Wasinger posits that although some applications, such as picture-for-profile (PFPs), may not regain their previous significance from a year ago, it’s undeniable that numerous Web 3.0 applications are bound to incorporate Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in the future.
