Despite suffering high volatility and intense competition from the crypto and meme coin market, the non-fungible token market has continued to showcase strong resilience. In 2025, the NFT market has evolved beyond its initial hype, focusing on practical applications like gaming, digital identity, and real-world asset tokenization. In response to this market maturity, the NFT market has recorded a trading sales volume of over $1.34 billion in Q2, 2025.

NFT Market Records $1.34 Billion In Q2 2025

Data compiled by cryptoslam, a renowned on-chain crypto market data aggregator and a non-fungible token explorer, indicates that the NFT market has showcased a strong market resilience in Q2, 2025. In the past three months, the NFT market has raised a trading sales volume of $1.34 billion, achieved through a significant increase in trading sales volume witnessed in the past two months.

NFT sales volume in Q2 2025

The global non-fungible token market entered the new year 2025 sound and healthy after gaining momentum from the NFT market bull rally, which kicked off in November 2024. Unfortunately, the NFT hype did not fuel the NFT market for long, and so it faded mid-month. In response to the NFT market cooling off, the global NFT market raised a trading sales volume of $697 million, down 24% from $901 million in December 2024. At the time, industry experts termed the decline as a healthy correction.

The non-fungible token market began developing notable cracks in February after trading sales fell again. In February, the NFT market recorded a trading sales volume of $476 million, down 29% from January 2025. In March 2025, the global non-fungible token market suffered another blow, with its trading sales volume flipping to $477 million, down around $44 million from the previous month.

The recent NFT market decline in Q1 2025 was associated with the crypto market downturn that was fueled by the escalating trade war at the time. Earlier this year, Donald Trump, the United States President, enacted a series of steep protective tariffs affecting nearly all goods imported into the United States. From January to April 2025, the average effective US tariff rate rose from 2.5% to an estimated 27%, the highest level in over a century. Trump later reduced those tariffs.

Even though non-fungible token collections entered Q2 2025 down in sales, they gradually started showing signs of recovery, with trading volume and buyer activity slightly increasing. In April 2025, the NFT market raised a trading sales volume of $377 million, down by $56 million. This negative market performance was also associated with the Trump global impact from his strict tariffs.

The NFT market began turning healthy in May after tokenized real-world assets started gaining massive traction among NFT traders. RWA (Real-World Asset) NFTs have been gaining traction because they offer a way to tokenize and trade ownership of physical assets, like real estate or art, on a blockchain. This process enhances liquidity, enables fractional ownership, and increases accessibility for investors. In response to massive RWA NFT adoption, the NFT market raised a trading sale of $476 million, up 30% from the previous month.

In June 2025, the NFT market received another huge market boost after Immutable-based NFTs started making headlines in the NFT sector. In the past several weeks, several Immutable NFTs, including the Guild of Guardian Avatar and Guild of Guardians Heroes, have been skyrocketing in trading sales volume. This short market hype has pushed the global NFT trading sales volume to $492 million in June.
