Solana NFTs did not do as well in the four months before November 2023. Since July 2023, the monthly sales volume for NFTs based on Solana struggled to record a volume above $40 million. However, things started to change after October 2023. 
The sales volume for Solana-based NFTs started showing signs of life when it hit about $82 million in monthly sales in November 2023 — a 192% jump from the previous month when it only had about $28 million in monthly sales. 
Furthermore, Solana NFTs continued their momentum in the following months. In December 2023, NFTs on Solana recorded around $365 million in monthly sales. The record was its second-highest monthly sales volume, following its $373 million record in October 2021.
