NFT Sales Fall 20% To +$102M, As Crypto Market Cools Down

The global non-fungible token market has slightly fallen in trading sales volume and floor price value this first week of September. In the past seven days, the global NFT market has raised a trading sales volume of over $102 million, down 19.88% from the previous week. This negative growth shows that the crypto market, which retested some hype last month and pushed NFT trading sales to increase, has cooled down.

NFT Sales Drop, As Crypto Market Cools Down

The fall in the non-fungible token market coincides with the meltdown in the crypto market, which has left the flagship crypto “Bitcoin” plunging from its initial all-time high of $124K to $111K. On the other hand, Ethereum has also plunged from its initial all-time high of $4,900 to $4,300. The recent negative crypto market growth shows that investors are temporarily stepping back from moving further down the risk curve.

In most cases, cryptocurrency prices, particularly Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), have a significant impact on NFT trading sales, with various research showing that a spike in crypto prices generally leads to increases in NFT sales and trading volumes. This relationship, similar to that of a mother and a child, is driven by some factors like increased investor interest, a more favourable market environment, and the fact that cryptocurrencies are often the primary currency used to purchase NFTs.
