The Bitcoin NFT ecosystem is starting August on the wrong foot after seeing its weekly sales decline to $15 million. In this article, we will examine the current downturn of Bitcoin NFTs and the top reasons why it might remain negative through August.
Bitcoin NFTs Poor Performance
August has not been kind to Bitcoin NFTs. The weekly sales figures saw a massive decline, with total sales dwindling to $15 million. The number of transactions has also seen a drastic drop by over 3%, with only 27,000 transactions recorded over the week. Furthermore, there was a 90% drop in the number of buyers to 2,700 while the number of sellers also decreased by 91% to 2,569.
Even in the past 30 days, Bitcoin NFTs have declined massively. So, there’s around a 38% decline in performance, with the value of NFT sales reducing to $73 million in a month. Moreover, the number of buyers reduced by 9% to 19,300 within the same period. Sellers also saw a 63% decline of 13,900, with the total number of transactions reducing to 114,630.
3 Reasons Why Bitcoin NFTs Will Continue to Decline in August as Weekly Sales Remain Negative at $15 Million
Below, we will discuss some of the reasons why Bitcoin NFTs might remain in the negative for the rest of August.
Daily Poor Sales Performance for Bitcoin NFTs
The daily sales performance of Bitcoin NFTs has been consistently poor throughout August. On average, daily sales have struggled to surpass $2 million, with the number of transactions hovering around 1,500 per day. The daily number of buyers remains low, averaging 5,000 and the number of sellers is at 2,200. Moreover, data from CryptoSlam shows there was a 12% decline in the number of transactions as of August 9th.
26% Decline in RuneStone NFTs
One of the standout collections within the Bitcoin NFT ecosystem, RuneStone NFTs, has experienced a significant downturn. In August, RuneStone NFTs saw a 26% decline in both sales and transaction volume. The collection recorded only 1,300 transactions, involving 637 buyers and 632 sellers. The sharp decline in RuneStone NFTs is emblematic of the broader issues facing Bitcoin NFTs.
Nodemonkes NFTs Decline to $2 Million Weekly Sales
Another prominent collection, Nodemonkes NFTs, has also been hit hard in August. Weekly sales for Nodemonkes have fallen to $2 million, a significant drop from previous months. Furthermore, the collection saw only 313 transactions during the week, with 235 buyers and 228 sellers. Thus, the decline in Nodemonkes NFTs further highlights the challenges facing Bitcoin NFTs. As sales continue to drop and transactions slow, the Bitcoin NFT ecosystem struggles to regain momentum.
Conclusion
The decline in Bitcoin NFTs throughout August is driven by poor daily sales performance, a significant drop in key collections like RuneStone and Nodemonkes, and an overall lack of buyer interest. With weekly sales remaining negative at $15 million, the outlook for Bitcoin NFTs appears bleak. So, unless there is a dramatic shift in market dynamics, the decline is likely to persist, raising concerns about the long-term viability of Bitcoin-based NFTs.
