The decline in Bitcoin NFT sales joins the list of many things going wrong for Bitcoin in the last few weeks. Currently, Ethereum is the number one NFT blockchain in sales, with over $150 million of NFTs sold. In this article, we will explore the recent decline in sales and the top NFTs contributing to Ethereum’s growth.
Bitcoin NFT Sales Decline Massively
There’s been a massive decline in NFT sales within the Bitcoin blockchain as it drops to second place behind Ethereum. According to data from CryptoSlam, there’s a decline of more than 48%, which brings the total worth of NFT sales to less than $107 million in 30 days. At the time of writing, the figure dropped to $105 million. Subsequently, there’s also a 15% decline in the amount of NFT transactions happening within the network to less than 130,000.
There’s also a 45% decline in the number of buyers, bringing it down to 5,660, while the number of sellers has dropped to 5337, representing a 46% decline. Even though the Ethereum network is not having a massive increase in NFT sales, it is better than Bitcoin at the moment. In the last 30 days, there have been more than $150 million in NFT sales on the blockchain. Moreover, it still leads in weekly sales with over $38 million in sales, while Bitcoin stands in 4th position with $15 million in sales.
Why are Bitcoin NFT Sales Declining?
The recent decline in Bitcoin NFT sales coincides with the bad performance of the apex cryptocurrency, BTC. Over the past months, Bitcoin has continued to underperform despite the promises of the approved ETFs. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin has declined by more than 5% in the last seven days to $58k. In one month, there’s a decline of over 17%, while it gets worse with the three-month data with over 13% losses. It has only managed to keep a positive increase of over 30% in the year-to-date data. However, this seems to be the primary cause of the recent decline in Bitcoin NFT sales.
