<p data-ct-non-breakable="true">Law professor and filmmaker Brian Frye and songwriter Jonathan Mann are suing the SEC to determine whether NFTs fall under the government agency’s authority.</p>

<p data-ct-non-breakable="true">NFTs are set to record their lowest monthly volume of 2024 in July. With only $393 million in recorded sales volume, NFTs are about to break the $438 million record set in June for the lowest monthly volume in NFT sales in 2024.</p>
<p>Even though NFTs experienced lower volumes, digital collectibles saw increased transaction volumes for the month. CryptoSlam data showed that almost 10 million NFT transactions occurred in July, a 73% increase from June’s record of 5.7 million transactions.</p>

<p data-ct-non-breakable="true">NFT gaming platform Ronin recorded two million daily active users on July 29, surpassing major blockchains in user activity on the day. The network surpassed other active chains like Tron and Solana, which had 1.8 million and 1.2 million active users, respectively.</p>
<p>In its mid-year review, the Ronin network highlighted factors that may have influenced the increase in active users. According to the report, this may have been partly driven by a surge in volume for its NFT marketplace, Mavis Market and many other ecosystem updates.</p>
