At the beginning of 2025, NFT sales volumes show a decline alongside stable transaction activity. Nevertheless, interest in digital assets remains high.
Overall NFT Sales Volumes
In the first half of 2025, global NFT sales volumes reached $2.82 billion, a 4.61% decrease compared to the previous period. CryptoSlam data indicates that the first quarter was strong, with sales of $1.59 billion, followed by a decline to $1.24 billion in the second quarter.
Decline in Trading Volumes
According to DappRadar's report, NFT trading volumes continue to decrease. In the second quarter of 2025, trading volumes totaled $823 million, a 45% drop from the previous quarter. Despite declining volumes, NFT sales counts surged, recording 12.5 million transactions, a 78% increase.
Continued Interest in NFTs
Aubrey Terrazas, vice president of marketing at the NFT platform Rarible, stated that the decline in volumes reflects a healthier and more sustainable market. Terrazas noted, "We are moving towards real utility and community-driven projects," suggesting ongoing strong interest in digital assets. Additionally, Snoop Dogg sold nearly a million NFTs through Telegram in 30 minutes, further confirming market activity.
In summary, although NFT sales volumes have slightly declined, the market shows stability and maintains interest from collectors and investors. Emerging communities and innovative approaches to digital assets remain prominent.
