While most of the top five blockchains for NFTs have had a great week in sales volumes, the Bitcoin blockchain was the only one on a slight downward trend. The blockchain had a 7.01% decrease in sales volume from the week before, according to CryptoSlam.&nbsp;

Apart from a surge in weekly volumes, the number of NFT buyers has also increased in the last week. CryptoSlam data shows over 500,000 NFT buyers in the last seven days, a 37.97% boost from the week before.&nbsp;
The top 10 blockchains for NFTs all showed an increase in NFT buyers last week, with Solana leading the list with 220,304 NFT buyers. Polygon came second with 89,498, while the Ethereum network had 44,188 buyers.&nbsp;

While NFTs show signs of life, the small increase in weekly volumes cannot offset a broader downward trend in the NFT space’s monthly sales volumes.&nbsp;
The digital collectibles market <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/nft-sales-plunge-q2-2024" rel="" target="_self" text="null">showed a 45% decline</a> in the second quarter of 2024. NFTs recorded a sales volume of $2.24 billion, marking its lowest performance since the third quarter of 2023. The downward momentum came amid a negative outlook for Bitcoin, a key leader in NFTs.&nbsp;
In July, NFTs had their <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/nfts-lowest-monthly-sales-volume" rel="null" target="null" text="null">lowest monthly sales volume</a> since November 2023. However, despite the volume drop, blockchain-based digital collectibles saw a 73% increase in transactions.&nbsp;
In the last 30 days, CryptoSlam shows that NFTs have had a 40.91% decrease in sales volumes.&nbsp; Magazine: <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/painful-nft-creator-nate-alex-70-cryptopunks/" rel="null" target="null" text="null">‘Painful to think about’: NFT Creator Nate Alex on selling 70 CryptoPunks too early</a>
