Global NFT sales volume fell 15.28% to $37.54 million over the latest seven-day period, even as the number of buyer and seller addresses more than doubled.
According to data from CryptoSlam, captured on Sep. 19 with the “7 Days” setting selected, NFT sales declined while participation measures moved sharply higher.
Buyer addresses increased 174.04% to 114,977, while seller addresses rose 151.72% to 108,037. Those figures represent blockchain addresses rather than confirmed individual users.
The number of NFT transactions moved in the opposite direction, falling 9.08% to 808,432. The combination of more active addresses and fewer transactions showed that activity was spread across a larger pool of wallets, though CryptoSlam’s figures alone do not show whether those addresses belonged to new market participants.
The NFT decline occurred alongside a rebound in the wider crypto market. Bitcoin traded near $81,311, and Ethereum changed hands at approximately $2,647 when the market data was checked. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization stood near $2.79 trillion, according to CoinGecko.
The NFT and cryptocurrency market moves were concurrent, but the available data did not establish a direct causal relationship between them.
Ethereum remained the leading blockchain for organic NFT sales, generating $15.32 million during the seven-day period. Sales decreased 2.66%, while buyer addresses climbed 63.82% to 13,546.
The network also recorded $443,802 in wash-trading volume, down 52.41%. Including that activity, Ethereum’s total volume reached $15.76 million, a 5.44% decline.
Polygon ranked second by organic sales with $7.09 million, down 4.88%. The blockchain recorded 26,588 buyer addresses, up 91.47%.
Wash trading played a much larger role in Polygon’s figures. CryptoSlam identified $18.07 million in wash volume, lifting the network’s combined total to $25.15 million. Organic sales and wash trading are separate measures and should not be added when assessing ordinary NFT purchases.
Bitcoin placed third with $4.33 million in sales, representing a 53.99% weekly drop. Buyer addresses nevertheless climbed 141.29% to 5,441. The contrast showed that more Bitcoin addresses interacted with NFTs even as the dollar value of recorded sales fell.
BNB Chain followed with $2.58 million, down 36.26%. Its buyer count rose 384.73% to 10,732, the largest percentage increase among the six leading blockchains.
Base was the only top-five network to record higher organic sales. Volume increased 4.06% to $2.16 million, while buyer addresses surged 253.04% to 2,323. CryptoSlam also recorded $4.8 million in wash volume on Base, up 79.91%.
Solana ranked sixth with $1.89 million in sales, down 11.08%. Its 25,301 buyer addresses represented a 164.90% increase.
Together, the six leading networks generated approximately $33.36 million in organic sales, accounting for nearly 89% of the global total.
Courtyard on Polygon remained the leading NFT collection with $6.3 million in sales, down 0.93%. The tokenized collectibles marketplace recorded 123,504 transactions, up 21.52%, involving 18,459 buyer addresses and 14,921 seller addresses.
Ethereum-based Argonauts ranked second with $2.74 million, following a 36.91% decline. Transactions dropped 48.15% to 1,204, while buyer and seller addresses fell to 422 and 490, respectively.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter placed third after sales jumped 622.03% to $1.83 million. Almost all that volume came from eight transactions involving four buyer and three seller addresses.
The concentration matters because Alchemix V3 Transmuter tokens appear to be linked to positions within a decentralized finance protocol rather than conventional artwork or profile-picture collectibles. CryptoSlam classified the transfers as NFT sales, but the dashboard did not independently establish the economic purpose of each transaction.
Guild of Guardians Heroes on Immutable-Zk generated $986,168, up 3.5%. Its 689 transactions involved 390 buyer addresses and 399 seller addresses.
Panini America ranked fifth with $893,356 in weekly sales, an increase of 19.27%. The sports collectibles collection recorded 13,469 transactions, although buyer addresses declined 24.18% to 762. The collection provided a direct link to the U.S. sports card segment within the week’s NFT rankings.
Bitcoin-based $ATMC BRC-20 NFTs followed with $716,730, down 20.32%. CryptoPunks placed seventh with $706,667 after sales declined 37.39%, with nine transactions involving eight buyers and nine sellers.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter tokens accounted for four of the five largest individual transactions recorded during the seven-day period.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter #219 led the list at $770,985.44. The Ethereum-based token changed hands for 297.4017 WETH about 15 hours before the dashboard snapshot.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter #214 ranked second with a $715,216 sale settled in 284.8951 WETH five days earlier. The two leading tokens were sold by and transferred to the same respective blockchain addresses.
The third-largest sale came from Bitcoin. A $X@AI BRC-20 NFT sold for $402,534.35, or 5.19 BTC, five days before the snapshot.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter #216 followed with a $196,748.70 transaction involving 79.98 WETH two days earlier.
Alchemix V3 Transmuter #208 completed the top five after selling for $126,695.23, or 49.8681 WETH, seven days earlier. Together, the four Alchemix transactions generated approximately $1.81 million, accounting for nearly all the collection’s reported weekly sales.
