What’s Happening in NFT Land?

Hold on to your digital wallets, folks! NFT sales have taken a nosedive, dropping by a whopping 5.4%. Yep, we’re now talking about a cool $79 million, down from last week’s $84 million. Talk about a slippery slope!

The Numbers Game

Despite the drop in sales, the number of NFT buyers has surged like a rocket—up nearly 990%! We’re talking about 222,294 savvy collectors jumping into the fray. On the flip side, sellers have also jumped in big time, increasing by over 714% to 189,963. But hold your horses; transactions overall have plummeted by about 21% to 1 million and change. Yikes!

Bitcoin and Ethereum Blues

In a parallel universe, Bitcoin has taken a tumble, now languishing around the $96,000 mark. Just when you thought it had reached for the stars! Meanwhile, Ethereum is having its own identity crisis, losing the $3,200 threshold, marking a sad send-off to recent gains. The global crypto market cap is now sitting at $3.26 trillion, down from $3.48 trillion. Ouch!
