After weeks of steep declines in participation, the non-fungible token (NFT) market is showing early signs of stabilization, buoyed by a broader crypto rebound.

While overall buyer and seller activity has plunged nearly 70%, transaction volumes are creeping higher, and specific blockchains and collections are breaking out with double-digit growth.

At last check on Saturday, Bitcoin ( BTC ) topped $115,800 — up 5.2% over the past seven days — and Ethereum ( ETH ) hovered above $4,600, up 9.1% for the week.

Summary
  • NFT sales posted modest 4.7% recovery to $106.6 million
  • Market participation collapsed with buyer and seller counts dropping around 70%
  • Gaming collections dominated performance with Mythos Chain surging to second place

According to data from CryptoSlam , this marks the first positive growth in several weeks following a series of declines.

Market participation has contracted sharply, with NFT buyers falling by 69.84% to 180,693, and NFT sellers declining by 70.87% to 123,713. NFT transactions have increased by 2.60% to 1,754,295.

Ethereum has surged to the $4,700 level. The global crypto market cap is now $4.07 trillion, up from last week’s market cap of $3.81 trillion.

Mythos Chain sales jump over 40%

The buyer count declined across all blockchains, with BNB Chain leading at 84.35% growth as the only platform posting gains. At the same time, others saw drops ranging from 65% to 80%.

  • Ethereum maintains the lead with $34.1 million in sales and dropped 7.45% from the previous week. Ethereum’s wash trading has fallen by 52.47% to $3.1 million.
  • Mythos Chain advances to second place with $14.3 million, with 41.63%.
