Polygon surpasses Bitcoin, Solana in daily NFT sales volume

Polygon’s NFT sales volume surpasses Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) as the non-fungible token (NFT) market gains momentum.

According to data provided by CryptoSlam, the total NFT sales increased by 27% in the past 24 hours, reaching $18.21 million. The surge comes while the total number of transactions declined by 7%, currently sitting at 351,319. 

This movement might show heightened whale activity in the NFT sector.

Moreover, Ethereum (ETH) has been leading the NFT scene since late May. Per CryptoSlam data, the NFT sales volume increased by 24% over the past day and is currently hovering at $5.1 million. 

Polygon overtook Bitcoin and Solana again after seeing a 173% rally in its NFT trading volume. Data shows that Polygon’s NFT sales surpassed the $4 million mark for the third time this year — first in January and second on July 3.

Solana secured the top spot with $3.9 million in NFT sales, recording a 50% surge in the past 24 hours. Notable, Solana is the only blockchain on this list with an increased number of buyers, rising by 62% and currently sitting at 20,946 unique buyers.

The amount of NFT sales on the Bitcoin network rose by only 11% over the past day, standing at $2.7 million, according to CryptoSlam data. At this point, Bitcoin has the least amount of wash trading volume among the leading four blockchains — only around $23,000.

Notably, the monthly NFT sales have been consistently decreasing since March this year — falling from $1.6 billion on March 1 to $127 million on July 1.
