NFT sales volume dropped sharply to $91.96 million in the first week of September, marking the lowest weekly figure since mid-June, according to data from CryptoSlam. The decline comes after a strong run throughout July and August, when weekly sales consistently exceeded $115 million. Notably, the week of July 21–27 reached $170 million, the third-highest weekly performance of 2025.
While sales volumes have receded, analysts suggest this reflects a temporary market cooldown rather than waning interest in digital collectibles.
Decline in unique buyers and sellers
The number of NFT buyers has plummeted 58% since mid-June, falling to 199,821 from a peak of 487,264. Similarly, unique sellers dropped to 145,877, down 43% from 258,803 in June. Alongside the reduced market participants, the average sale price for NFTs declined sharply from $104 in August to $72 in early September—a 30% drop in just two weeks.
Despite these decreases, overall transaction counts remained robust at 1.27 million, signaling active trading even with smaller individual transaction sizes.

Summer adoption drove strong NFT momentum
The strong NFT performance in July and August was fueled by growing adoption and high-profile events. DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas noted the impact of a permanent NFT art gallery in Ibiza, showcasing works by prominent artists such as Beeple and Mad Dog Jones. Additionally, Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 network, emerged as the third-largest chain by 30-day NFT volume in August, further supporting market activity.
A temporary slowdown or new market normal?
While early September saw a noticeable dip in NFT sales, experts view the trend as a market pause rather than a collapse. Growing adoption, innovative use cases, and active trading indicate that the NFT ecosystem continues to mature despite fluctuations in volume and buyer activity.
