Meanwhile, in the same month, Magic Eden, the Solana NFT marketplace, declined by 63.5% from May reaching $111 million in trading volume. The data shows that declining NFT floors combined with the dropping prices of several underlying cryptocurrencies such as Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have led to the decreasing trading volumes. However, a analyst @punk9059 has derived a prediction from data compiled in the past six months. According to which, the floor prices of the NFT is likely to increase if the value of ETH goes down. Monthly NFT marketplace volume continues to decrease.
