Despite a decline in monthly sales volume, NBA Top Shot continues to reach new milestones in the digital collectibles space.

NBA Top Shot has played an invaluable role in the NFT space since its July 2019 launch, reaching a total sales volume of $1 billion, according to Be[In]Crypto research. This latest metric comes as an instrumental boost to the NFT space, which has witnessed waning monthly volumes throughout 2022.

Other projects in the running for the most sales volume include, but are not limited to Axie Infinity, Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), CryptoPunks, Art Blocks, Otherdeed, Azuki, CloneX, VeerFriends, Moonbirds, Meebits, and Doodles.
