The priciest NFT sale in October was an Uncategorized Ordinal, which fetched $4.55 million roughly 16 days ago. Additionally, Ethereum witnessed BAYC #7,940 sell for $1.43 million, a Locked USDT collectible on BNB went for $343,310, and a Polygon Mining Pass brought in $205,145.

October’s NFT market data points to a softening interest in digital collectibles, with transaction volumes and sales continuing to slide. Still, buyer activity showed signs of cautious optimism, potentially signaling a floor in the market. While collections like Mythos’ Dmarket experienced notable growth, the market’s overall trend hints at a base of interested buyers—leaving room for possible stability if interest strengthens across platforms and assets.
