📦 NFT Volumes Surge, Prices Spike

NFT trading volume jumped 50% this week, pushing the market cap to $7B, the highest since February 2025. Despite the bullish volume, sales only grew by 8%, and the number of active traders increased by just 7%.

This signals a clear shift: NFTs are getting more expensive, with the average price jumping 40% to $146. As expected, Ethereum remains dominant, capturing 80% of the total NFT trading volume.

📈 Ethereum Rally Fuels NFT Momentum

The renewed NFT activity is closely tied to Ethereum's surge — ETH is up 26% in the past 7 days, boosting overall market sentiment. Altcoins followed, with Bitcoin dominance dipping to ~61–62%, signaling capital rotation.

Adding to the momentum, spot-based ETH ETFs saw record inflows: over $2.12 B weekly and $727 M in a single day, reflecting strong institutional demand.
