Non-fungible tokens (NFTs<\/strong>) have retreated to the lowest monthly sales volume<\/strong> of this year, with digital collectibles<\/strong> experiencing a drop of more than 66%<\/strong> in market value<\/strong> from their peaks in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CryptoSlam<\/strong> data shows that NFT sales<\/strong> fell to $320 million<\/strong> in November. This figure corresponds to approximately half of the $629 million<\/strong> recorded in October. The decline pulled monthly volumes back to levels not seen since September 2024<\/strong>. During that period, digital collectible sales had reached $312 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data also indicates that NFTs<\/strong> generated $62 million<\/strong> in sales revenue between December 1-7<\/strong>, marking the weakest weekly total of 2025<\/strong>. A slow start to December suggests that the decline could continue throughout the month as NFT momentum<\/strong> weakens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This downward trend comes amidst a general decline in NFT valuations<\/strong>. According to CoinGecko<\/strong>, the sector’s total market cap<\/strong> is at the level of $3.1 billion<\/strong>, down 66%<\/strong> from the $9.2 billion<\/strong> peak in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Major Firms Fall, Infinex Patrons and Autoglyphs Buck the Trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CoinGecko<\/strong> data showed that most of the top-ranked NFT<\/a><\/em> collections<\/strong>, including CryptoPunks<\/strong>, which has the largest market cap, mirrored the general market decline. CryptoPunks<\/strong> fell 12%<\/strong> in the last 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bored Ape Yacht Club<\/strong> retreated by 8.5%<\/strong>, Pudgy Penguins<\/strong> fell by 10.6%<\/strong> in the same period, continuing the pullback in the most dominant NFT assets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decline did not spare collections from major art-focused firms. Chromie Squiggle<\/strong> retreated by 5.6%<\/strong>, Fidenza<\/strong> fell by 14.6%<\/strong>, Moonbirds<\/strong> lost 17.9%<\/strong> in value, and Mutant Ape Yacht Club<\/strong> went down by 13.4%<\/strong> in the last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest drop came from Hypurr<\/strong>, which plummeted by 48%<\/strong>, recorded as the sharpest decline among the top 10 NFT collections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, two major collections bucked the bearish trend by posting gains in the last 30 days. Infinex Patrons<\/strong>, currently the second-largest NFT collection<\/strong> by market cap, showed an increase of 14.9%<\/strong>, while Autoglyphs<\/strong> surpassed all its rivals in the top 10 list with a rise of 20.9%<\/strong> in the last 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent drop comes in the middle of a turbulent quarter for the NFT market<\/strong>. As Cointelegraph<\/strong> previously reported, NFTs<\/strong> experienced a sharp decline in valuation from October to November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital collectibles<\/strong> fell from $6.6 billion<\/strong> to $3.5 billion<\/strong>, despite a slight increase in sales. This meant a drop of 46%<\/strong> in just 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brief recovery followed this weakness. On November 11<\/strong>, the NFT market cap<\/strong> briefly rose from $3.5 billion<\/strong> to $3.9 billion<\/strong>, reflecting renewed interest driven by the memecoin rally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the recovery was short-lived. CoinGecko<\/strong> data showed that the NFT market cap<\/strong> is at the level of $3.1 billion<\/strong>, down 53%<\/strong> compared to October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
