This month, marked by growth in most sectors, the cryptocurrency ecosystem saw relief from the beatdown it received in the first half of the year. This relief has made many believe we have finally found the bottom of the bear market.
However, despite the bullish uptick in the wider cryptocurrency market, interest in NFT projects continues to dwindle. In fact, according to NFTGo, figures of $234,944,782.13 were recorded in sales volume over the last 30 days – A 12.25% decline.
Furthermore, data from CryptoSlam revealed a decline in the sales volume of blue-chip projects such as Bored Apes and Otherdeed. These dropped by 36% and 25%, respectively, in the last 30 days.
Still seeing some decline in a few metrics, OpenSea, the world’s most popular NFT marketplace, registered a drop in its performance in July. This, when compared to its performance in June.
Additionally, Opensea Polygon recorded some notable drops too.
OpenSea Ethereum for the win?
