Over the last two weeks, non-fungible token ($NFT) sales have enjoyed steady week-over-week increases. However, when we compare the numbers from September to August, the story takes a different turn. Data from Cryptoslam.io reveals that September saw a 47.9% drop in total digital collectible sales compared to the previous month.
$NFT Market Faces Continued Decline
August was a tough month for $NFT sales, with revenue plummeting by 41.36% compared to July. Unfortunately, September didn’t bring any relief—it got even worse. The month saw a total of $317.77 million in $NFT sales, marking a 47.9% drop from August.
Every one of the top five blockchains by $NFT sales posted monthly losses. Leading the charge was Ethereum with $108.43 million in sales, but even that represented a 46.57% decline from the previous month. Bitcoin came in second with $63.98 million, followed by Solana’s $61.26 million.
Bitcoin’s $NFT sales for September were down by 32.06%, while Solana saw a 41.75% dip. The top collection for September was Ethereum’s Cryptopunks, which pulled in $16.51 million. However, that’s still a 10.91% decrease compared to August.
Immutable X’s Guild of Guardians (GoG) secured the second spot with $14.1 million in sales, though that too was down by 2.68% from the previous month. Solana’s Dogezuki snagged third place, bringing in just over $10 million in sales for September.
Even so, Dogezuki’s sales were down 10.59%. As for the priciest $NFT sold in the last 30 days, that title goes to Cryptopunk #6915, which changed hands for $1.46 million roughly a month ago. Arbitrum’s GETH Locked Deposit sold for $419,355, and seven days ago, Polygon’s Mining Pass #1574 went for $205,742.
The $NFT market’s decline across all major blockchains signals a shift in momentum, with top collections like Cryptopunks and Guild of Guardians unable to escape the downward trend.
As blockchain ecosystems continue evolving, the pressure is mounting for $NFT innovation to rekindle interest. Digital collectible collectors and developers alike must navigate this uncertain landscape to find new ways to revive demand.
