Bi-Weekly NFT: XCOPY sale surge & Bitcoin dominates NFT Market

The NFT daily trading volume has experienced a slight dip across all chains this week. Bitcoin continues to lead, generating a daily volume of $20.9 million, followed closely by Ethereum at $19.52 million. Interestingly, Base chain has dropped out of the top 5 list, being overtaken by Polygon at $1.12 million.

Following the recent halving event, Bitcoin maintains its position at the forefront. The enduring popularity of Bitcoin is further evidenced by marketplace volume, with Magic Eden capturing a 42% share, of which 77% originates from Bitcoin NFTs. Additionally, the image below illustrates a stark contrast, as the sole marketplace not supporting Bitcoin, OpenSea, has plummeted to the bottom with only a 5% market share. This marks a significant decline for OpenSea, which previously dominated the market before the emergence of Blur and Bitcoin NFTs.
