As we progress further into August, Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to fluctuate. Both are seen dipping, with Ethereum at just under $1850 and Bitcoin at $29500. With crypto stuck in a range, the NFT market is struggling to see any uplift.
So, is it an adverse phase for investors? Or will the market rise like a phoenix? And how much did the market suffer? We have you covered. Let’s dive into the NFT Market and check what we found!
1) A Steady Week For NFT Trade Volume
This week, the NFT market showcased a consistent performance, with a total trading volume of approximately $53.55 million. This figure marks a decrease from the previous week’s activity, potentially indicating a shift in market dynamics. Despite the lower trading volume, it’s important to note that this might not directly signify reduced trader engagement, as alternative factors could be at play.
It’s plausible that the market’s foundation is solidifying, and the current participants are predominantly engaging in internal exchanges. Notably, the influx of fresh investments has been scarce, causing trading volume to circulate within various collections and blockchain networks.
