Bitcoin and altcoins spark NFT resurgence as weekly sales exceed $180 million

The NFT market is experiencing a surprising revival, with weekly sales surpassing $180 million, a 94% surge according to data from CryptoSlam. This resurgence appears closely tied to the post-election boom in Bitcoin and altcoin values. The rekindled interest in NFTs signals optimism for digital collectibles, once thought to be languishing after a sharp decline in market value. This trend contrasts sharply with last year’s report from DappGambl, which noted that 95% of NFT collections were valued at zero ether.

The resurgence may be influenced by renewed enthusiasm tied to Donald Trump’s anticipated second presidency. Trump has leveraged the NFT space profitably through ventures such as his NFT trading card collections, amassing $7 million in sales and potentially reigniting broader market interest.

The past week saw NFT sales volume climb to $93 million, while the average sale price increased significantly to $133.08—a jump of 87% from the prior week’s $71.11. However, experts caution that the NFT market’s volatility and speculative nature can make these gains fragile. Despite the excitement, analysts warn investors against overlooking the inherent risks, as highlighted in last year's DappGambl report. While stories of digital art pieces selling for millions have captured public imagination, the market remains fraught with pitfalls and sudden downturns.
