$NFT sales reached approximately $55.51 million over the seven days ending Sep. 26, up 57.17% from the prior seven-day period, according to a CryptoSlam dashboard captured on Sep. 26. Ethereum led blockchain sales, while CryptoPunks ranked first among collections.
According to data from CryptoSlam, seller addresses rose 39.19% to 150,410. The 39.65% increase in buyer addresses was much larger than the 5.93% rise in transactions. CryptoSlam counts addresses, so those buyer and seller figures do not establish how many individual people traded NFTs.
The $NFT increase took place alongside gains in the two largest cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin traded near $83,914, up 3.60% over seven days, while Ethereum traded near $2,686, up 2.70%. CoinGecko put the total crypto market capitalization near $2.97 trillion.
Ethereum leads $NFT sales with $30.33 million
Ethereum recorded approximately $30.33 million in seven-day $NFT sales, a 113.52% increase. Its 19,043 buyer addresses were up 40.61%. CryptoSlam separately listed about $1.07 million in wash-trading volume for the network; that measure should not be added to its sales figure.
Polygon placed second with $7.44 million in sales, up 6.66%, and 37,499 buyer addresses, up 41.04%. Its listed wash-trading volume was far larger, at $18.50 million. CryptoSlam’s separate “Total” column combined those figures to show $25.94 million for Polygon, but that total is not the same as the network’s $7.44 million sales figure. Polygon also hosted Courtyard, the second-ranked collection by sales.
Bitcoin followed with $5.13 million in sales, up 18.33%. Its buyer addresses climbed 45.89% to 7,938, while listed wash-trading volume came to $109,667. Two Bitcoin NFTs appeared among the five largest individual sales, although Bitcoin’s overall network sales remained below Ethereum and Polygon.
Base ranked fourth with $3.30 million in sales, up 87.59%, and 2,934 buyer addresses, up 26.30%. Its listed wash-trading volume reached $4.80 million. Beezie, a Base collection, accounted for $1.69 million in sales, including the week’s largest listed individual trade.
BNB Chain completed the top five at $2.66 million in sales, up 2.76%, with 15,000 buyer addresses. Immutable followed closely with $2.39 million, up 32.70%, while Solana recorded $2.03 million, up 17.25%. The six leading chains from Ethereum through Immutable accounted for about $51.23 million in sales, most of the $55.51 million global figure.
CryptoPunks tops weekly $NFT collection sales
Ethereum-based CryptoPunks ranked first among collections with $8.24 million in sales, up 1,066.53% from the prior period. CryptoSlam recorded 85 transactions, 62 buyer addresses and 55 seller addresses. Transactions rose 844.44%, while the buyer-address count increased 520%.
Courtyard, on Polygon, ranked second with $6.56 million in sales, up 6.67%. Its 111,471 transactions were down 7.54%, and its 17,014 buyer addresses declined 14.29%. The collection’s sales increase therefore came alongside fewer recorded transactions and buyer addresses.
Credits, an Ethereum collection, placed third at $5.18 million. CryptoSlam showed no week-over-week change in its displayed sales, 57,288 transactions or 4,124 buyer addresses. Another Ethereum collection, Argonauts, followed with $1.97 million in sales, down 28.61%, across 952 transactions.
Base-based Beezie ranked fifth with $1.69 million in sales, up 176.70%, across 7,367 transactions and eight buyer addresses. Its $1 million sale of Beezie #4365 represented about 59% of the collection’s weekly sales. That concentration makes the collection’s increase a poor measure of trading across all its items.
Bored Ape Yacht Club placed sixth with $1.49 million in sales, up 213.39%, from 79 transactions and 48 buyer addresses. Immutable-based Guild of Guardians Heroes ranked seventh with $1.28 million, up 31.93%, from 870 transactions and 530 buyer addresses.
Beezie leads high-value $NFT sales with $1 million trade
CryptoSlam listed Beezie #4365 as the largest individual sale at $1 million, settled in 1 million USDC on Base about three days before the dashboard capture. The transaction alone represented roughly 1.8% of global seven-day $NFT sales.
The next two listed sales came from $X@AI BRC-20 NFTs on Bitcoin. One sold for approximately $519,364, or 5.9999 $BTC, about three days before the capture. Another sold for approximately $409,140, or 5 $BTC, about seven days before it. Together, the two transactions accounted for about $928,504 of Bitcoin’s $5.13 million weekly $NFT sales.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter #229 ranked fourth at approximately $398,081, settled in 149.95 WETH on Ethereum about two days before the capture.
The fifth-largest listed sale was Cardano Warriors – Islands #asset1sq7qkdve0ngmgllap7cw2… at approximately $378,237, settled in 1,651,099.8227 ADA on Cardano about six days before the capture. These five transactions totaled about $2.70 million, or roughly 4.9% of CryptoSlam’s global seven-day sales figure.
