Blockchain Performance in NFT Sales
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin dominated the NFT sales among blockchains, recording $47.74 million in sales — a remarkable increase of 50.33% from the previous week.

Ethereum followed closely, with weekly NFT sales of over $35 million between June 2 and June 8. This was a slight decline of 0.31% from the previous week’s $37.43 million, relegating Ethereum to the second spot in terms of NFT sales volume. Ethereum also experienced a decrease in wash trading by about 6.87%, settling at $24.7 million.

Renewed Interest in NFTs
The recent uptick in NFT market activity suggests a broad-based resurgence in interest among collectors and investors. Various factors may be driving this renewed interest:
- Market Opportunity: The recent market dip provided a buying opportunity for savvy investors looking to capitalize on lower prices.
- Increased Utility: The growing utility of NFTs across sectors such as gaming and digital art is attracting a diverse group of investors.
- Crypto Market Growth: As major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum increase in value, their associated NFT markets often benefit as well.
This week’s data, highlighting growth across multiple platforms like Bitcoin, Solana, and Polygon, points to a diversifying and potentially sustained growth in the NFT market. The strong performance of collections like PIZZA NFTs underscores this renewed interest and suggests that NFTs may indeed be making a notable comeback.
