From Struggles to Success: The Evolution of Solana NFTs
Despite facing challenges in the preceding months, particularly between July and October 2023, Solana's NFT market witnessed a remarkable turnaround. Monthly sales volumes surged from $40 million to an impressive $365 million in December 2023, marking the second-highest sales volume on record, just shy of the October 2021 peak of $373 million.
Sustained Growth and Market Momentum
The positive trajectory continued into January and February, with Solana NFTs maintaining robust sales figures, surpassing $239 million and $161 million, respectively. These consecutive months of buoyant sales have propelled Solana's NFT market to surpass the $1 billion mark in sales volume over the past nine months.
