According to recent data, the nft market saw a marked resurgence in November 2024, with sales volumes increasing to $562 million, a 57.8% increase from $356 million in October.
This figure marks the highest monthly total since $599 million in May and reflects renewed interest in digital assets amid a broader cryptocurrency recovery.
The rally, largely driven by well-established nft collections and the growing role of blockchain diversity, highlights a shift in market dynamics toward higher-value transactions.

Top-of-the-line collections lead market rise
The revival of the nft market is supported by the strong performance of major collections, particularly CryptoPunks and Pudgy Penguins.
CryptoPunks saw a 392% increase in sales volume in November, reaching $49 million across 388 transactions, a significant increase in both value and activity compared to October. CryptoPunks' floor price increased sharply, from 26.3 eth at the beginning of November to 39.7 eth at the end of the month, which is equivalent to approximately $147,000 based on current eth prices.
Similarly, Pudgy Penguins demonstrated impressive growth, with a 262% increase in sales volume to $16 million. Its minimum price increased from 8.7 eth to 13 eth during the month, reaching around $48,000. These gains reflect the enduring appeal of established nft collections, even as newer projects try to carve out a space for themselves in the market.
ethereum and bitcoin nfts See Growth
ethereum remains the dominant blockchain for nfts, generating more than $216 million in sales in November, up 12% from October. Its long-standing infrastructure and developer ecosystem continues to attract creators and merchants alike. However, bitcoin-based nfts have become a growing force in the market. With sales volumes nearly doubling to $186 million (an increase of 99.44%), bitcoin is establishing itself as a major contender in the nft space. This growth is largely attributed to the adoption of Ordinals, a protocol that enables nfts on the bitcoin blockchain.
Other blockchains, including Solana, Mythos Chain, Immutable, Polygon, and BNB Chain, collectively generated $162.9 million in nft sales during November. This demonstrates the increasing diversification of the market, as traders and creators explore alternatives to ethereum.
Despite November's resurgence, the nft market remains well below its previous peaks, indicating that while sales volumes and interest are recovering, the market has yet to fully recover the participation levels seen. in previous cycles.
