Ethereum Leads NFT Volume Decline, Transaction Numbers Fall

Did you know? In the past, NFT markets experienced similar rapid declines, often tied to broader market sentiment and regulatory impacts, as seen during sharp downturns in mid-2022.

CoinMarketCap data reveals Ethereum’s current price at $4,301.16 with a market cap exceeding $519 billion, accounting for a 13.54% market share. Recent 24-hour trading volume reached $17.4 billion, with a marginal decrease of 0.81%. Ethereum’s price adjustments include a 7-day decline of 3.50% and a 60-day increase of 55.34%.

Research from Coincu indicates potential shifts in regulatory or technological domains could further impact NFT trends. Historical trends suggest that periods of high volatility often precede market adjustments or technological innovations, emphasizing the need for continuous observation.
