The leading NFT marketplace in terms of volume was none other than Blur, which witnessed $15.2 million in weekly sales. This impressive figure accounted for about 77.5% of the total weekly NFT volume on Ethereum. Blur’s significant dominance signifies the platform’s appeal and success in attracting NFT enthusiasts and collectors. 
While Blur captured the volume spotlight, OpenSea emerged as the biggest NFT marketplace in terms of trades, with a notable 10,000 transactions, representing a remarkable 53.5% of the total weekly trades. Despite facing strong competition, OpenSea’s popularity and usability continue to draw users, solidifying its position as a go-to platform for NFT trading. 
When it comes to average sale prices, OpenSea saw an average of $362 per NFT sale, which, while impressive, pales in comparison to Blur’s astonishing average of $1,996 per trade. This means that the average NFT sale on Blur was over 5.5 times higher than that of OpenSea, showcasing Blur’s focus on high-value NFT assets. 
The NFT loan market also experienced a momentous week, with a total volume reaching $114 million from 2,657 unique users. An overwhelming majority, approximately 92.8% of this volume, came from Blur’s NFT lending protocol, Blend. Blend alone recorded over $106 million in weekly volume, with 2,190 unique users, averaging an impressive $48.6K per user.
