The NFT market is showing strong signs of recovery. Over the past week, total NFT sales rose 14.39% to hit $134.3 million, according to CryptoSlam. This comes after a slow week prior and marks a clear shift in momentum.
More Buyers, Fewer Transactions
Buyer activity increased sharply. The number of NFT buyers jumped 50.56% to over 1 million. Seller activity also rose 8.9%, reaching more than 38,000 active addresses.
However, total transactions dropped slightly by 2.94%, landing at 1.64 million. This may mean people are buying fewer NFTs, but spending more per item.
Immutable and Ethereum Take the Lead
Immutable led the pack with $46.1 million in weekly sales — an 81.73% jump. Ethereum followed with $26.9 million, up 42.96% from last week.
Meanwhile, Polygon dropped to third place. Its sales fell 24.73% to $16.9 million, and wash trading on the chain dropped nearly 97%, a sign of cleaner activity.
Mythos Chain, BNB, and Bitcoin rounded out the top six blockchains for NFT sales. BNB rose 25.14%, while Bitcoin dipped slightly.
NFT Buyers Are Coming Back
This recent surge is looking good for NFT buyers, as investors are not just buying top coins at the moment, but instead are spreading their interests. Most major blockchains saw more buyers. Arbitrum led with a 110.87% increase. Polygon grew 35.63%, and Solana added 27.41% more buyers.
This shows renewed interest in NFTs across different chains, not just Ethereum.
Top Collections This Week
Guild of Guardians Heroes was the best-selling NFT collection, pulling in $28.3 million, up 86.33%. This success matched Immutable’s strong performance.
Courtyard, built on Polygon, dropped to second with $16 million, down slightly. Buyer and seller numbers dropped sharply.
CryptoPunks still brought in $2 million, but had fewer buyers and more sellers — a sign of changing demand.
Bored Apes NFT and Gods Unchained See Growth
Bored Ape Yacht Club had a strong week. Sales rose 22.72%, and transactions increased 44.12%. Buyers and sellers both went up by over 40%.
Gods Unchained Cards had the biggest jump. Sales more than doubled to $7.79 million, and buyer numbers increased by almost 50%.
OpenSea Still Leads NFT Trading
According to Dune data, OpenSea handled nearly 89% of all Ethereum NFT trades last week. Blur came second with just over 10%.
Despite more platforms entering the market, OpenSea remains the top choice for most traders.
Are NFTs Heating Up Again?
It’s clear the NFTs space is bouncing back. More people are buying, more value is flowing, and major blockchains like Immutable and Ethereum are seeing strong growth.
While total transactions fell slightly, higher-value trades and growing interest in top collections point to a healthier, more stable market. If the trend continues, NFTs could have a strong second half of 2025.
