The NFT market posted a sharp rebound over the latest seven-day period, with sales volume rising alongside broader crypto market momentum. Data from cryptoslam.io shows that total NFT sales reached $179.48 million from Nov. 9 to Nov. 16, marking a 90.74% increase compared with the previous week. The jump highlights renewed activity across major blockchains, with established collections and Bitcoin-based assets playing a central role in the surge.
Ethereum Holds First Place While Bitcoin Strengthens Its Position
Among 21 tracked blockchains, Ethereum remained the top network for NFT sales. Over the seven-day window, Ethereum-based NFTs generated $67.72 million in sales, up 126.79% from the prior week. Bitcoin came in second with $59.96 million in NFT sales, representing a 129.22% week-over-week increase. Solana ranked third, posting $24.39 million in sales and a 91.85% gain.
The data suggests that while Ethereum continues to dominate the sector, Bitcoin is becoming increasingly relevant within the NFT ecosystem. Its recent growth reflects sustained demand for Bitcoin-native and Bitcoin-linked collectible formats, especially as trader attention broadens beyond traditional Ethereum collections.
Outside the top three, Blast recorded one of the fastest growth rates of the week. NFT sales on Blast rose 256.30%, though total volume was still relatively limited at just $718,850. That contrast underscores a recurring pattern in the market: smaller chains can post eye-catching percentage gains, but remain far behind the major NFT networks in absolute trading volume.
Top Collections Drive the Weekly Rally
At the collection level, the leading performer was the Bitcoin BRC20 NFT collection, which generated $28,143,193 in sales during the week. That total represented a 165.96% increase from the previous period, placing it at the top of the sales rankings.
CryptoPunks followed closely with $23,171,042 in seven-day sales. The iconic Ethereum-based collection posted one of the most dramatic jumps of the week, soaring 665.29% compared with its prior performance. The scale of that move made CryptoPunks one of the clearest symbols of the market’s renewed momentum.
Several other collections also stood out during the period, including Bitcoin Puppets, Dmarket, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Nodemonkes, Guild of Guardians, Doodles, Zereborn, and Pudgy Penguins. Their presence among the week’s stronger performers indicates that activity was not limited to just one chain or one niche. Instead, capital and attention appeared to spread across a mix of blue-chip, gaming-related, and emerging digital collectible projects.
High-Value Sales Highlight Cross-Chain Activity
The most expensive NFT sale of the week was an Ethereum-based Wise Lending NFT, which sold for $678,379 six days earlier. On Solana, Boogle #076 changed hands for $269,314 three days ago. On Bitcoin, an Uncategorized Ordinal sold for $105,365 during the same period.
These headline transactions show that demand for higher-value NFTs remains present across multiple ecosystems, even if price levels and liquidity differ widely from chain to chain. Ethereum still hosts the biggest top-end sales, but Solana and Bitcoin continue to produce meaningful transactions that reinforce their relevance in the broader collectible market.
A Market Rebound With Broader Implications
The latest weekly figures point to a dynamic NFT landscape shaped by both established leadership and shifting competitive pressure. Ethereum continues to anchor the market in terms of total sales, but Bitcoin’s rapid rise suggests it is gaining a stronger foothold in the space. Solana, meanwhile, remains an important third pillar, maintaining substantial volume and benefiting from continued interest in alternative NFT ecosystems.
The data also reflects expanding market diversification. Smaller platforms such as Blast are registering outsized percentage gains, while a wide range of collections beyond the usual blue-chip names are appearing in top activity lists. That combination of concentration and diversification is notable: market volume is still led by a handful of major chains and marquee collections, yet participation is spreading across a broader set of projects and networks.
Overall, the week’s performance suggests that NFTs are once again moving in tandem with wider crypto market enthusiasm. With total sales approaching $180 million in just seven days and standout collections posting triple-digit gains, the sector appears to be experiencing a meaningful short-term recovery. Whether that momentum persists will depend on sustained buyer demand, continued trading activity across the leading chains, and the ability of both major and emerging collections to hold market attention in the weeks ahead.
