NFT Buyers This Week Doubled, Ethereum Sales Remain Top Position

Gate News reports that this week’s NFT market experienced a surge in active trading, with the number of buyers increasing by 100.75% week-over-week to 236,771, and sellers rising by 141.83% to 295,021. However, the total NFT trading volume decreased by 31.63% to 903,279 transactions, while the average transaction size slightly expanded.

Ethereum continues to lead in NFT sales, with a weekly trading volume of $8.69 million, up 21.25% year-over-year, attracting 5,370 buyers, a 30.28% increase. Bitcoin NFT trading volume reached $8.53 million, with buyers increasing by 43.44% to 9,210, but total transactions declined by 34.10%. Polygon performed remarkably well, with a weekly trading volume of $7.24 million, a 799.21% increase mainly driven by the Courtyard series, with 10,960 buyers and 78,925 transactions.

On the Base chain, the number of buyers was 38,333, a 12.79% increase, with a trading volume of $5.22 million. BNB Chain’s trading volume decreased by 43.77%, but the number of buyers grew by 40.48% to 18,177. Immutable platform’s weekly trading volume was $2.61 million, with a 53.95% increase in buyers. Solana had the highest number of buyers at 98,636, with a trading volume of $1.92 million.

In single-series transactions, the Courtyard series on Polygon was the most active, with sales reaching $6.47 million this week. The highest single transaction price for an NFT on Bitcoin was $3,866,496 for the $X@AI BRC-20 NFT, equivalent to 54.2999 Bitcoin, nearly accounting for the entire weekly total of that series. The Ethereum Flying Tulip PUT series saw 253 transactions totaling $3.77 million. Other series on Base chain and Immutable-Zk platforms also performed notably well.

Analysis shows that while the number of NFT buyers increased significantly, the average purchase per person decreased, limiting overall sales growth. Rising Ethereum prices and reduced fake transactions better reflect genuine buyer interest. The growth of the Courtyard series on Polygon has driven single-series transaction increases, but overall market activity still requires a combined assessment of on-chain transactions and trading volume.
