Despite Ethereum’s price surge and a record-setting $2.5 million CryptoPunks sale, the NFT market is in steep retreat — with sales down 11% to $134.9 million and buyer and seller counts collapsing by about 90%, signaling a sharp contraction in participation across nearly all major blockchains.

Summary

  • NFT sales declined 11% to $134.9 million despite Ethereum’s 19% price surge.
  • Market participation collapsed with buyer and seller counts dropping by approximately 90%.
  • CryptoPunks #1021 set a new high-water mark with a 720 ETH sale worth $2.5 million.

Where are all the NFT buyers?

According to data from CryptoSlam, market participation has contracted with NFT buyers plummeting by 89.83% to 73,900, and NFT sellers falling by 91.14% to 42,878. NFT transactions have increased by 1.60% to 1,781,919.

This slump comes at a time when Bitcoin (BTC) price has dropped to the $116,000 level.

At the same time, Ethereum (ETH) has shown a spike of 19% in the last seven days to $4,100. The global crypto market cap is now $3.93 trillion, up from last week.
