Are NFTs making a comeback or just riding the hype? Here’s what the numbers say

Author: Content Editor
After a period of stagnation, the non-fungible token (NFT) market is experiencing a revival. NFT sales between September 30 and October 6 reached over $84.9 million, the highest volume since late August. The market has been steadily gaining momentum, with sales reaching $69 million in the week of September 16-22, and $75 million in the week of September 23-29. The current week has already seen over $5.5 million in sales, indicating a potential continuation of this upward trend. However, the average sale price of NFTs has dropped by 32.91%, suggesting that higher-priced collectibles are still lagging behind. Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain in the NFT space, but other platforms such as Mythos, Bitcoin, Solana, and Polygon are gaining ground. The recent resurgence in NFT sales can be attributed to high-profile events, such as a questionable CryptoPunk sale and Telegram's introduction of NFTs through its "Gifts" feature. However, the market also faces uncertainties, including the Wells notice issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, potentially triggering further regulatory scrutiny. It remains to be seen whether the current hype around NFTs will result in sustained growth or if it is just a short-lived trend.
