Solana’s NFT ecosystem has concerns to address

CryptoSlam’s data revealed that Solana’s NFT sales volume plummeted by more than 56% last month. To add to the misery, its number of sellers dropped by a whopping 4131%.

In fact, the blockchain has also witnessed a few popular NFT collections, such as y00ts, migrate to Polygon [MATIC] in the past. Interestingly, y00ts has made a strategic decision to ignore the possibility of a move back to Solana and announced its migration to the Ethereum [ETH] blockchain.

Whether the price reduction will be enough to garner user interest and help the blockchain uplift its NFT ecosystem will be intriguing to watch.

A look at SOL’s daily chart suggested that things can get better. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Money Flow Index (MFI) were both moving up, which was bullish.

Additionally, its MACD displayed the possibility of a bullish crossover, suggesting that the token’s price might rise further.
