According to CryptoSlam data, this growth marks a positive change after NFTs hit a low of $300 million in September 2024, the lowest monthly volume since 2021.
October also saw a 42% jump in NFT transactions, which totaled 7.2 million compared to 5 million in September, reflecting renewed interest in digital collectibles.
Weekly sales volumes in October also reached their highest levels since August, reaching $84 million in the first week. Collections from the Mythos chain, such as DMarket, led the way with $33 million in sales, followed by Immutable’s Guild of Guardians Heroes with $13 million. Collections like Bitcoin Puppets, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and CryptoPunks also showed strong activity.
Solana-based NFT maintained a steady presence, recording $67 million in sales for October. With cumulative volume approaching $6 billion, Solana remains the second-largest NFT sales chain of all time, accounting for 19% of monthly volume.
