NFT Market Health In 2024

The non-fungible token market has been a roller coaster in 2024. It started the year 2024 healthy, reaching $4.1 billion in Q1, 2024. In February 2024, the NFT sales climbed to just over $1.290 billion, a 3.6% increase from January’s $1.245 billion. In March, the NFT sales jumped further to $1.605 billion, up 19.6% from February’s $1.290 billion. Sadly, the NFT sales began tanking after the BRC-20 and Runes NFTs, which fueled a resurgence in November 2023, lost traction.

In April 2024, the NFT market suffered another blow, with its trading sales volume flipping to $1.2 billion, down around $205 million from the previous month. In May 2024, the NFT market further melted escalated, leaving the trading sales volume down nearly half to $599 million. In June 2024, the NFT meltdown further deteriorated, pushing trading sale volume to $436 million.

The global NFT market has since suffered a month-over-month decline, declining to $428 million in July 2024. In August 2024, the global NFT market further went down, recording a trading sales volume of $393 million. Cumulatively, the NFT market amassed a trading sales volume of $1.12 billion in Q3, 2024. In September 2024, the NFT trading sales volume further declined to only $303 million.

Fortunately, the global NFT market began skyrocketing again in November 2024, with trading sales volume pumping to over $563 million. This NFT resurgence was fueled by the recent re-election of Donald J Trump as the 47th United States President. During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to offer an ample environment for crypto users, consequently bringing more users back to the crypto and NFT market. This confidence has pushed NFT trading sales volume up to nearly $1 billion in December and over $2.2 billion in Q4, 2024.
