NFT Sales Surge 16% Amid Crypto Market Turbulence

NFTs are back in the spotlight, with sales shooting up 16% this week and hitting a massive $224 million in trading volume. Even though the crypto market has been a wild ride—Bitcoin bouncing over $100K and Ethereum pulling back from its $4K high—NFTs are holding their ground and thriving.


Ethereum-based NFTs are still the MVPs, leading the charge with $118M in sales, up by 21%. Bitcoin’s NFTs aren’t far behind, raking in $52M. Solana, the rising star, had a 31% spike in sales, bringing in $22M. And guess what? Some underdog networks like Mythos Chain and ImmutableX are also making their mark with $11M and $8.5M in sales, respectively.

One collection that’s absolutely killing it is Pudgy Penguins. They saw a 45% jump in sales, hitting close to $30M. What’s their secret? They’ve gone beyond digital art and started selling physical merch and toys. It’s clear that blending the digital and physical worlds is a winning formula for them.

This surge shows NFTs are more than just a passing fad. Even with the sudden shifts in crypto, NFT market is proving time and again that it’s here to stay. More networks and creators are backing it up claiming there’s room for innovation and growth. Whether it’s art, collectibles, or new tech, NFTs are carving out a solid place in the digital economy. If this momentum keeps up, it’s safe to say NFTs are becoming a legit part of the future.
