NFT sales jump 55.6% to $75.5M as BNB Chain takes lead

NFT sales rose 55.6% to approximately $75.54 million over the past seven days, with BNB Chain overtaking Ethereum after recording more than $32.75 million in sales.

• NFT sales increased 55.6% to $75.54 million, while transactions fell 14.77% to 650,332.
• Buyer addresses rose 20.38% to 273,655, and seller addresses increased 18.09% to 291,266.
• Ethereum sales fell 14.23% to $18.94 million despite an increase in buyer addresses.
• BNB Chain sales surged 1,042% to $32.75 million, making it the top-ranked network.
• Courtyard led collections with $6.32 million, while a BRC-20 NFT sold for 10 BTC.

According to data from CryptoSlam, captured on Sept. 5 with the seven-day view selected, NFT sales increased from approximately $48.55 million during the preceding period.

Buyer addresses climbed 20.38% to 273,655, while seller addresses increased 18.09% to 291,266. However, total transactions fell 14.77% to 650,332, meaning the increase in sales value occurred alongside fewer recorded transfers.

The average value per transaction rose to approximately $116, compared with about $64 in the prior period. CryptoSlam records blockchain addresses rather than verified individual buyers or sellers, so the address totals should not be treated as confirmed user counts.

NFT activity increased as the broader cryptocurrency market remained volatile. Bitcoin traded near $79,694, while Ethereum changed hands around $2,458 at the time of writing. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at approximately $2.78 trillion.

The concurrent movements do not establish that cryptocurrency prices caused the rise in NFT sales. BNB Chain's unusually large weekly increase also means the global comparison requires network-level context.

BNB Chain leads NFT sales with $32.75 million

BNB Chain moved into first place with approximately $32.75 million in organic NFT sales, an increase of 1,042% from the previous seven-day period. Buyer addresses on the network rose 30.84% to 22,132.

CryptoSlam recorded only $8 in wash-trading volume for BNB Chain, leaving its combined total close to $32.75 million. The scale and speed of the increase make the network the main contributor to the global weekly gain, although the collection rankings did not show one BNB Chain project accounting for most of the amount.

Ethereum ranked second with $18.94 million in organic sales, down 14.23%. Wash trading declined 56.30% to approximately $742,249, putting the network's combined total at $19.68 million. Ethereum buyer addresses increased by 21.13% to 40,098 despite the decline in sales value.

Polygon followed with $7.29 million in organic sales, up 6.12%. The blockchain also recorded $18.73 million in wash trading, taking its combined volume to $26.02 million. Polygon's 94,731 buyer addresses represented the largest total among the leading chains and increased by 10.67%.

Bitcoin ranked fourth with $5.87 million, down 34.20% from the previous period. Buyer addresses nevertheless rose 28.95% to 13,103. The network also generated approximately $94,991 in wash volume, producing a combined total of $5.96 million.

Base placed fifth after sales increased 36.59% to $4.23 million. Its wash-trading volume reached $4.80 million, exceeding organic sales and lifting combined volume to $9.03 million. Buyer addresses jumped 64.50% to 5,050.

Solana completed the leading six with $1.91 million in organic sales, up 9.99%. The network recorded 47,853 buyer addresses, an increase of 24%, and about $24,849 in wash activity.

Courtyard tops weekly NFT collection sales

Polygon-based Courtyard remained the leading NFT collection with $6.32 million in sales, up 7.50%. The platform recorded 97,050 transactions, a 1.01% increase, while buyer addresses fell 7.63% to 17,766.

Courtyard's sales represented approximately 8.4% of global NFT volume. Its high transaction count separates the collection's activity from projects where weekly sales were concentrated among a small number of wallets or transfers.

Base-based Beezie ranked second with $2.64 million, up 39.39%. Transactions increased 47.36% to 16,521, but CryptoSlam recorded only nine buyer addresses and 240 seller addresses. The low buyer count means the sales figure was highly concentrated rather than spread across a broad group of addresses.

Ethereum's Argonauts placed third with $2.07 million despite sales falling 63.54%. Transactions declined by 72.74% to 3,068, while buyer and seller addresses also fell by more than 50%.

CryptoPunks followed with $1.86 million, down 9.92% from the prior week. The collection produced 18 transactions involving 15 buyer addresses and 15 seller addresses.

Blokyz generated $1.48 million, a decline of 19.56%, from 3,889 transactions. Bored Ape Yacht Club ranked sixth with $1.17 million, up 19.71%, while its transaction count increased 18.87% to 63.

Guild of Guardians Heroes completed the leading seven with $981,850 in sales, up 2.64%. Its transactions fell 5.78% to 733, while buyer addresses declined 15.42%.

BRC-20 NFT leads high-value NFT sales

Bitcoin-based $REWD BRC-20 NFT #68f822daa8f482226a42a15319b5fe66a... recorded the largest sale, changing hands for 10 BTC, worth approximately $796,863, nine hours before the snapshot.

Another Bitcoin-based asset from the $X@AI BRC-20 NFT collection ranked second. It sold for 5.1158 BTC, valued at approximately $394,346, three days earlier.

CryptoPunks #1839 placed third after selling for 161.5 ETH, or approximately $394,320, around 18 hours before the data capture.

Algebra Positions NFT-V2 #43 recorded the fourth-largest sale at 365,231.125 USDT, worth approximately $365,231, two days earlier. Algebra position NFTs represent decentralized exchange liquidity positions rather than conventional digital collectibles.

CryptoSlam classified both BRC-20 transactions and the Algebra position transfer as NFT sales, though their economic structures differ from those of profile-picture and digital-art NFTs.
