Nft Winter Deepens: Monthly Sales Hit Lowest Point Of The Year
NFT sales fell to $320 million in November — their lowest this year — with early December off to a weak start as top collections slide across the board.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have fallen to their lowest monthly sales volume this year, with digital collectibles declining by over 66% in market capitalization from their January highs.
CryptoSlam data shows that NFT sales declined to $320 million in November, about half of the $629 million recorded in October. The drop pulled the monthly volumes back to levels not seen since September 2024, when digital collectible sales hit $312 million.
The data also shows that from Dec. 1-7, NFTs generated $62 million in sales, marking the weakest weekly total of 2025. The slow start to December suggests that the downturn may persist through the month as NFT momentum slows.
The downward trend comes amid a broader decline in NFT valuations. According to CoinGecko, the sector’s overall market cap is at $3.1 billion, down 66% from its high of $9.2 billion in January.
CoinGecko data showed that most of the top NFT collections mirrored the broader market decline, with CryptoPunks, the largest by market cap, falling 12% in the last 30 days.
Bored Ape Yacht Club slipped 8.5%, while Pudgy Penguins dropped 10.6% in the same time frame, continuing a pullback across the most dominant NFT assets.
The downturn did not spare art-driven blue-chip collections. Chromie Squiggle slid 5.6%, Fidenza fell 14.6%, Moonbirds dropped 17.9% and the Mutant Ape Yacht Club was down 13.4% in the last month.
The biggest decline came from Hypurr, which shed 48%, making it the biggest decline among the top 10 NFT collections.
Meanwhile, two major collections posted gains in the last 30 days, bucking the downward trend. Infinex Patrons, currently the second-largest NFT collection by market cap, posted gains of 14.9%, while Autoglyphs outperformed the entire top 10 leaderboard with a 20.9% surge in the last 30 days.
