NFT showdown: Polygon, Solana vie for top spot

• Polygon and Solana jostle for top space in NFT sales volume.
• Solana and SOL are in the clear with more positive trends.

In recent days, Polygon [MATIC] and Solana [SOL] have been competing for the 3rd and 4th positions in the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) sales ranking. How have they performed over the last 7 and 30 days?

Polygon goes above Solana in weekly NFT sales

A recent update from Polygon Today revealed that Polygon has now exceeded Solana in the weekly NFT sales rankings. This development holds significance as Solana has been consistently leading it in NFT sales volume for the past few months.

The recent surge indicates a notable shift for Polygon, which experienced a temporary decline in NFT sales volume discussions due to the increased popularity of Bitcoin Inscriptions and the introduction of new NFTs on the Solana platform.

This marked a remarkable improvement of over 93%. Meanwhile, Polygon secured the fourth position in sales volume, reaching over $83.8 million. It also saw an increase of nearly 46%. Notably, Bitcoin and Ethereum took the lead in the 30-day chart, with sales volumes of over $876.7 million and $318 million, respectively.

Within the seven-day timeframe, Polygon claimed the third spot with sales of over $44 million. Also, it had the highest growth rate among the top networks at over 160% as of the latest data.

Solana, on the other hand, secured the fourth position in this timeframe with a sales volume exceeding $39 million.

In the last 24 hours, Solana maintained the third-highest volume, while Polygon occupied the fourth position. The latest figures reported sales volumes of $6.7 million for Solana and $5.6 million for Polygon at the time of this writing.
