Bitcoin Roars Again In The NFT Market – Reclaims Market Dominance From Ethereum

On Sep 24, 2024

The non-fungible token market has recorded positive growth today following a strong comeback of Bitcoin Ordinals in the market. Bitcoin ordinals, which used to be the talk of the town several months ago, have been tanking in trading sales volume, flipping more than 90% in the past three months. Today, Bitcoin Ordinals have made a strong resurgence, giving investors some hope that NFTs are here to stay.

Bitcoin NFT Sales Pump 42% In The Past 24 Hours

Data compiled by CryptoSlam.io, a multi-chain non-fungible token explorer and analytic hub backed by Mark Cuban, indicates that Bitcoin-based NFTs have significantly surged in trading sales volume today. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin-based NFTs, which include Runes, Ordinals, and BRC-20 NFTs, have recorded a trading sales volume of $4.2 million, representing a 42% rise from the past day.

Bitcoin, which used to be the leading NFT blockchain network, lost its market dominance to Ethereum and Solana sometime in April after the market hype that led to its resurgence faded. Since then, Bitcoin NFTs have remained down more than 90%, with some crypto traders even pronouncing the ordinal ecosystem as dead already. Today, Bitcoin has turned these sentiments upside down.

During this time, Ethereum has closely followed Bitcoin in the NFT market dominance, with a trading sales volume of $3.3 million in the past 24 hours. Solana and Polygon are distantly following Bitcoin and Ethereum in ranking, with a trading sales volume of $1.9 million and $1.4 million. In the past 24 hours, Solana and Polygon-based NFT collections have surged 22.8% and 8.41%, respectively. Below, we have listed five top-selling NFT collections on the Bitcoin network:

1. NodeMonkes NFT Collection

NodeMonkes, a non-fungible token collection that features a limited set of 10,000 digital items, is the most-selling ordinal collection on the Bitcoin NFT ecosystem, recapturing the mantle of the CryptoPunks, which has been the talk of the streets in the past several weeks. In the past 24 hours, the NodeMonkes NFT collection has raised a sales volume of $838,363. During this time, the NodeMonkes NFT sales volume has plunged by 21% from the previous day.
