The digital collectables market has faced a significant downturn in the second quarter of 2024, with transaction volumes dropping to levels not seen since March 2021. Data from CryptoSlam shows that sales volume for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) dropped 45% over the last quarter. This paper explores the elements causing this drop as well as more general consequences for the crypto market. 
With a total sales volume of $4.1 billion, <a href="https://www.cryptoslam.io/nftglobal?headerPeriod=30d&amp;timeFrame=month" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CryptoSlam</a> claims the NFT business appeared robust during the first quarter of 2024. With a sales volume of $2.9 billion in the last quarter of 2023, this was a continuation of the increasing trend. However, the momentum did not extend into the second quarter; the market saw its volumes drop to $2.24 billion, the lowest since the third quarter of last year. 
Along with a clear dip in the average value of individual NFT sales—which dropped by 59% from March to June—the volume of sales has decreased. The greatly declining transaction count also suggests that June might be the lowest since March 2021. The contraction of the market has impacted sales volumes and the number of unique suppliers, which dropped to the lowest not seen since October 2023. 
Experts suggest that the recent decline in market activity for digital collectables may be attributed to collectors holding onto their assets instead of selling at a loss. This behaviour highlights a trend of caution and reluctance to incur financial setbacks amid unfavourable market conditions. 
This trend of hesitation among collectors and traders indicates a broader pattern of risk aversion within the digital collectables market. Investors are becoming more cautious, often preserving their assets rather than pursuing profits in a volatile market. 
This shift towards preservation over profit reflects a strategic adjustment among collectors and traders during uncertain economic times. As market conditions fluctuate, prioritizing asset security has become a key focus, depicting a significant change in investment behaviour in the digital collectables space.

The decline in the NFT market coincides with a challenging period for the broader cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, which has seen its own share of struggles. As of late June, analysts have forecasted a potential drop in Bitcoin prices to around $50,000, driven by emerging price patterns and external economic factors such as the upcoming U.S. elections and the Consumer Price Index updates expected later in the year. 
Markus Thielen, the founder of 10x Research, emphasized the potential impact of these external factors: “The United States elections and the Consumer Price Index later in 2024 could also negatively impact the price.” 
Despite the downturn, there have been some positive developments within specific segments of the NFT market. For instance, Solana-based NFTs reached a new all-time high in sales volume in February, totalling $5 billion transactions. Furthermore, Bitcoin-based NFTs climbed to third place in all-time sales volumes as of June 18, with a record of $4.27 billion, surpassing the Ronin network.

The digital collectables market is experiencing turbulent times, uncertain its future. The market’s recovery will largely hinge on the broader economic conditions and the overall health of the cryptocurrency landscape. While these factors present challenges, they also offer unique opportunities for investors and collectors who navigate this space. 
The marked 45% decline in the digital collectables market during the second quarter of 2024 can be attributed to a mix of internal dynamics within the cryptocurrency sector and broader external economic pressures. These factors have jointly influenced the market’s performance, showing a significant adjustment period.
