NFT sales rise 57.17% to $55.5M as Ethereum leads

$NFT sales reached approximately $55.51 million over the seven days ending Sep. 26, up 57.17% from the prior seven-day period, according to a CryptoSlam dashboard captured on Sep. 26. Ethereum led blockchain sales, while CryptoPunks ranked first among collections.

According to data from CryptoSlam, seller addresses rose 39.19% to 150,410. The 39.65% increase in buyer addresses was much larger than the 5.93% rise in transactions. CryptoSlam counts addresses, so those buyer and seller figures do not establish how many individual people traded NFTs.

The $NFT increase took place alongside gains in the two largest cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin traded near $83,914, up 3.60% over seven days, while Ethereum traded near $2,686, up 2.70%. CoinGecko put the total crypto market capitalization near $2.97 trillion.

Ethereum leads $NFT sales with $30.33 million

Ethereum recorded approximately $30.33 million in seven-day $NFT sales, a 113.52% increase. Its 19,043 buyer addresses were up 40.61%. CryptoSlam separately listed about $1.07 million in wash-trading volume for the network; that measure should not be added to its sales figure.

Polygon placed second with $7.44 million in sales, up 6.66%, and 37,499 buyer addresses, up 41.04%. Its listed wash-trading volume was far larger, at $18.50 million. CryptoSlam’s separate “Total” column combined those figures to show $25.94 million for Polygon, but that total is not the same as the network’s $7.44 million sales figure. Polygon also hosted Courtyard, the second-ranked collection by sales.
