This, said CryptoSlam NFT analyst Yehudah Petscher, can again be attributed to “low volume and high transacting fees from crypto trading.” On Ethereum, the most popular blockchain for NFTs, 24-hour NFT sales increased 2.16% to US$18.6 million. Sales on the Bitcoin blockchain took second place on Cryptoslam’s blockchain ranking by gaining 32.11% to US$4.6 million.
Yehudah said:
“Bitcoin NFTs are just getting started and in the long run, I expect Bitcoin to compete head-to-head with Ethereum’s all-time sales. It may actually exceed them too,”
The Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection saw the most sales during the past 24 hours. To $2.48 million USD, it increased 8%. According to Cryptoslam, the 24 highest individual NFT sales in the previous day were all Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs.
