NFT sales volumes have seen a resurgence, reaching their highest level since August. For the week ending October 6, non-fungible token (NFT) sales hit nearly $85 million, marking a notable increase after several weeks of declining sales amid a broader market downturn.

Data from CryptoSlam! reveals that from September 30 to October 6, NFT sales exceeded $84.9 million, the biggest weekly figure since August 25, when sales peaked at over $93 million. Despite the overall downward trend in the NFT market, this recent uptick signals renewed interest in digital collectibles.

While some top blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana saw a drop in trading volumes, Mythos Chain experienced a remarkable surge, with a more than 6,000% increase, pushing it to second place behind Ethereum. Polygon also showed strength with a 210% rise in weekly sales.

Notably, the NFT collection Dmarket led the sales charts with over $14 million in sales across more than 537,000 transactions. Additionally, the number of NFT buyers rose by nearly 22%, with more than 839,000 buyers and over 2 million transactions recorded, a 71% jump from the previous week.

Despite the positive momentum, the broader NFT market continues to struggle. September sales dropped to $303 million, down from $373 million in August. However, March remains the strongest month of 2024, with sales volumes reaching $1.6 billion.

As the NFT market attempts to recover, this recent surge in weekly sales may hint at future growth, though it faces challenges in regaining the highs seen in previous years.
