The NFT market has been a roller coaster in 2025. It entered the new year healthy after gaining momentum from the 2024 NFT market bull rally, which kicked off in November after the re-election of Donald Trump. Unfortunately, the NFT hype did not fuel the NFT market for long, and so it faded mid-month. In response to the NFT market cool-off, the global NFT market had a trading sales volume of $697 million, down 24% from $901 million in December 2024.
The NFT market went down further, sliding from $697 million in January 2025 to $477 million in February. In March 2025, the global non-fungible token market suffered another blow, with its trading sales volume flipping from $477 million to $429 million, down over $44 million from the previous February. The NFT market ended the first quarter of the year with a trading sale of over $1.6 billion.
The NFT market experienced a meltdown in Q2, 2025, with trading sales volume reducing to $1.3 billion. In April 2025, the global NFT market recorded a trading sales volume of $369 million, losing over $50 million from the previous month. The global NFT market meltdown went on in May and June 2025, with trading sales volume falling to $470 million and $369 million, respectively.

The NFT market started becoming healthy again in July after tokenized real-world assets started gaining massive traction among NFT traders. At the time, RWA NFT collections gained traction because they offered a way to tokenize and trade ownership of physical assets, like real estate or art, on a blockchain. In response to massive RWA NFT adoption, the NFT market raised a trading sale of $596 million in July 2025, up +30% from the previous month. The NFT market continues to grow in August to reach $604 million. In September, the global NFT market plunged to $449 million.
