In the past 30 days, Bitcoin NFTs recorded a sales volume of $171 million, outperforming other blockchains. Ethereum followed with $159 million, while Solana recorded $90 million in sales for the same period.
Although Bitcoin NFTs have recently dominated monthly sales volumes, the Bitcoin blockchain is still the fourth-largest in terms of all-time sales. It trails behind the Ronin blockchain, which holds the third spot with $4.2 billion in total sales. Solana-based NFTs rank second with $5.5 billion, while Ethereum remains the leader with a staggering $43.8 billion in all-time sales.
The overall NFT market experienced a notable decline in May, with CryptoSlam reporting a 54% decrease in monthly sales volume compared to April. While April saw over $1 billion in NFT sales, May's volume dropped to $624 million. This market slump also affected Bitcoin-based NFTs, which saw a 68% decline in sales during May.
In addition to the milestone in NFT sales, Bitcoin transactions reached a new yearly high. On May 28, Bitcoin transactions were valued at over $25 billion, the highest in the past year. Data from Blockchain.com showed that around 367,000 BTC were moved on the blockchain, with Bitcoin's price at the time around $69,000, making these transactions worth approximately $25.5 billion.
Despite facing a broader market decline, Bitcoin NFTs have achieved significant milestones, highlighting their growing prominence in the digital collectibles space. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Bitcoin-based NFTs perform relative to other blockchains.
