NFT Market Shows Signs of Recovery with 22% Increase in Trading Volume

The non-fungible token market appears to be on the path to recovery, with a 22% surge in trading volume in November, according to recent data.

Key Factors Behind the Growth

NFT trading volume reached $698 million in November, marking a significant increase from October. Analysts attribute the growth to several factors, including:

  • Increased engagement with blue-chip collections, such as those from Yuga Labs
  • Rising token prices
  • Improved liquidity and confidence among investors

“Improved liquidity and increased engagement with blue-chip collections are fostering confidence among collectors and investors, who are now viewing NFTs not only as speculative assets but also as cultural commodities.”

Despite the growth in trading volume, sales volume declined by 11% to 3 million units, which may indicate a shift toward more valuable transactions.

Broader Market Trends

The recovery in the NFT market comes amid broader market trends, including a rise in the overall NFT market value, which grew to $8.8 billion in November. Daily trading volume across all chains also rose by almost 50%.

Blue-Chip Collections Drive Growth

Blue-chip NFT collections, such as CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club, played a crucial role in the market’s rebound. CryptoPunks saw a 392% increase in trading volume, while BAYC experienced strong demand, with its floor price rising 75.79% week-on-week to $79,727.

Market Leaders

Ethereum remains the leader in trading volume, while Polygon holds the top position for the number of NFT sales. The rise of marketplaces like Blur, which surpassed OpenSea in trading volume, highlights the rapidly evolving NFT landscape.
