Ethereum NFT trading volume continues to decline.
NFTs have been primarily associated with Ethereum in the past, given the large number of projects hosted on the platform. However, the emergence of alternative platforms has broken down these monopolies.
In recent months, Bitcoin has emerged as an unexpected competitor in the NFT space, even though it operates differently.
Crypto Slam’s analysis of NFT trading volume shows that Bitcoin’s trading volume has surpassed Ethereum over the past 30 days.
Specifically, NFT trading volume on the Bitcoin network was over $455.59 million, while on Ethereum it reached $291.15 million.
Data shows that Bitcoin collections occupy the top three positions by trading volume. In contrast, popular ETH collections such as Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) are only ranked 6th.
