The NFT market has exhibited a modest uptick this week, with overall sales climbing 7.59% to reach $108.59 million. While the growth may seem small, it suggests a potential shift in momentum after a period of decline.
Ethereum Remains King, But Solana Makes Gains
Ethereum continues to reign supreme in the NFT space, generating $32.59 million in sales this week, representing a 5.95% increase. However, Solana is making a strong push for the second spot.

Bitcoin Sales Dip, New Players Rise
Bitcoin, on the other hand, experienced a 16.39% drop in NFT sales, generating $17.43 million. This decline suggests that investors may be looking beyond established blockchains for their NFT investments.
