Crypto expert Shuab Akhtar looks at how recent developments in the crypto market are affecting NFT Token metrics and assesses the state of the NFT market.
1) NFT Token market cap and volume
In the third week of April, the NFT market cap fell 1.98% to $9.32 million, indicating a slight decrease in the value of NFTs. Meanwhile, the seven-day volume of traded NFTs fell by a significant 24.42% to 121.04 thousand ETH.
2) Mixed counts continue in the NFT Token market
The third week of April shows a similar trend to the second week in the NFT trading market. NFT holders rose 0.27% to 4.352 million. However, the number of traders decreased by 34.44% to 67,795 thousand. This indicates a slowdown in trading activity.
In addition, in the third week of April, the number of buyers and sellers decreased by 32.03% and 39.32%, respectively, to 37.83 thousand and 43,798 thousand. This indicates that consumer interest in NFTs may be waning, which may be influenced by a variety of factors including market sentiment, price changes and changes in consumer behavior.
3) OpenSea NFT trading continues to decline
The OpenSea platform saw a significant drop in the number of uniquely active wallets (UAW), a 29.77% drop to 49.81k. There was also a significant slowdown in trading activities on the platform, with the number of transactions down 44.87% to 109.92 thousand. Also, trading volume on the platform fell 21.1% to $41.65 million, indicating that users were trading less in the third week of April. However, during the same period, OpenSea’s smart contract balance increased by 1.19% to $74.37K. These numbers may indicate a potential drop in user interest or a shift from one NFT trading platform to another.
4) Blur activity is missing
The number of active users on the Blur platform decreased by 29.08% to 20.37 thousand, while the number of transactions decreased by 34% to 67.19 thousand. In addition, the smart contract balance fell 23.5% to $98.99 million. These numbers may indicate a decline in investor interest or that investors are withdrawing funds from the platform.
However, trading volume increased by a significant 18.44% to $289.87 million. An increase in trading volume may indicate that fewer traders are making larger trades or that new traders are entering the market despite a decrease in active users and trades.
5) Decrease in Solana NFTs
In the third week of April, Solanart and OpenSea experienced a significant drop in the NFT market. The average price for Solanart fell 21.61% to $53.64 with only 140 traders. Trading volume fell by 82.96% to $11.15,000. OpenSea, on the other hand, dropped 62.32% in average price to $27.55, and trading volume fell 7.41% to $26.81k. However, the number of traders remained stable at 361.
6) Polygon NFT Tokens
In the third week of April’s NFT market data, OpenSea took the top spot in terms of number of traders and trading volume in the NFT market. The platform’s average NFT price rose 39.04% to $49.78, while trading volume rose 27.87% to $5.52 million. The average cost of NFTs fell notably on Rarible, down 90.72% to $14.17. Despite this, the platform’s number of investors increased by 828.76% to 6,975, while the trading volume decreased by 8.18% to $96.47K.
The average NFT Token price on the OKX NFT Marketplace rose 225.53% to $24.43, while trading volume rose 791.11% to $29.29k and number of traders increased 179.77% to 484. On the other hand, the average price of NFTs on Jump.trade rose only a small 20.79% to $25.60. While the trading volume increased by 216.86% to $19.61 thousand, the number of investors reached 371 with an increase of 84.58%. In Decentraland, the average price of NFTs rose marginally 3.1% to $3.78. However, the number of traders fell 15.79% to 192, while the trading volume fell 33.93% to $1.09k.
