Signs of Stabilization in the NFT Market

After several weeks of significant drops in market participation, the non-fungible token (NFT) sector is demonstrating early signs of recovery, supported by a general rebound in the cryptocurrency market.

Despite a nearly 70% plunge in both buyer and seller activity, transaction volumes are on the rise. Additionally, certain blockchains and collections are beginning to show notable growth.

As of Saturday, Bitcoin (BTC) reached $115,800, marking a 5.2% increase over the past week, while Ethereum (ETH) traded above $4,600, up 9.1% in the same timeframe.

According to recent data from CryptoSlam, this indicates the first positive growth in weeks, following a series of downturns. The participation in the market has sharply declined, with the number of NFT buyers down by 69.84% (at 180,693) and sellers falling by 70.87% (to 123,713). However, NFT transactions have shown a slight increase of 2.60%, totaling 1,754,295.

Ethereum’s price has surged to around the $4,700 level, and the global crypto market capitalization stands at $4.07 trillion, a notable rise from last week's $3.81 trillion.

Growth in Mythos Chain Sales

All major blockchains have experienced a decline in buyer count, with the BNB Chain standing out, recording an impressive 84.35% growth and becoming the only platform to show gains. In contrast, other platforms have faced declines ranging from 65% to 80%.
