Last week, non-fungible token (NFT) sales saw a slight increase of approximately 1.46% compared to the previous week, reaching a total value of $149.31 million from April 29 to May 6, 2023. However, the most recent week exceeded expectations with a significant surge of 31.22%, resulting in NFT sales amounting to $208.17 million. This surge can be attributed to the emergence of NFTs originating from the Bitcoin blockchain. Among the top blockchains for NFT sales, Mythos blockchain witnessed a significant boost, with NFT sales increasing by 69.66% to reach $11.73 million, securing the third-largest position. Solana, previously in second place, now ranks fourth with $8,789,106 in NFT sales, showing a decrease of 21.16% from the previous week. Polygon ranks fifth with $7.79 million in sales, experiencing a decrease of 7.07%. In terms of NFT collections, “Uncategorized Ordinals,” which consist of random Ordinals not part of any specific collection, dominated sales, generating $15.62 million. Ethereum’s Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) claimed the second spot with $13.80 million in sales. The Dmarket collection on the Mythos chain secured third place. ORDI BRC-20 NFTs and Ethereum’s Milady Maker NFT collection ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
