The global NFT market reached $68.82 million in weekly sales as trading activity grew across major blockchains. Total transactions increased by 58% to 891,579 during the most recent reporting period.
Why it matters
The sharp rise in activity is driven by strong performance in BRC-20 collections on the Bitcoin blockchain. This shift underscores a notable change in investor preference toward Bitcoin-based assets within the digital collectibles market.
Weekly sales reached $68.82 million, supported by 891,579 transactions and 177,980 active buyers. Individual blockchain performance included $29.91 million on Bitcoin, $16.41 million on Ethereum, and $9.15 million on Polygon.
