CoinVoice recently learned that, according to a report by Cointelegraph, NFTs ended the year with strong momentum, surpassing the sales record for digital collectibles in 2023 by over $100 million. As of December 31, the NFT data tracking platform CryptoSlam showed that blockchain-based digital collectibles sales reached $8.83 billion in 2024. This record is more than $100 million higher than the NFT sales in 2023, which were approximately $8.7 billion. This marks a year-on-year growth of 1.1% in NFT sales.
Ethereum remains the highest-grossing blockchain in NFT history, with sales reaching $44.9 billion. Solana follows closely with sales of $6.1 billion, while total sales of Bitcoin-based NFTs amount to $4.9 billion.
In December, NFT sales amounted to $877 million, making it the fifth-best performing month of 2024. The increase in December's sales was due to a rise in sales of Ethereum series NFTs, with monthly sales on that blockchain reaching $482 million. Bitcoin-based NFT sales were $172 million, while Solana-based NFTs achieved sales of $100 million in December.
Despite an increase in NFT sales, this year's figures are still far below the sales from 2021 to 2022. In 2021, NFTs ended the year with sales of $15.7 billion, which was 43.9% higher than the record in 2024. In 2022, NFT sales amounted to $23.7 billion, exceeding this year's record by 62.8%.
