The NFT market on Solana has grown over 24% in the last seven days.
Solana NFT Market Shows Enormous Growth
The total market capitalization of Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) sold on the Solana blockchain has risen quickly to hit $753 million, closing in on the billion-dollar mark.
The total market capitalization of the NFT market on Solana is dominated by two main collections: Solana Monkey Business and Degenerate Ape Academy. The former accounts for $195 million, while the latter accounts for nearly $151 million. Both sums total approximately 46% of the entire NFT ecosystem on the network, as per data from Solanalysis.com. The gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain could be one of the drivers for this growth.
“$Eth gas fees are way too high lol rn (only gonna get worse), and that’s gonna stop a lot of people buying NFTs (unless you’re wealthy), so ya boy is getting ahead of the game and buying NFTs on $Sol instead,” mentioned the famous YouTuber KSI through his Twitter handle.
Although, recently, the NFT ecosystem on this ecosystem took a minor setback. The creator of Iconics, an NFT collection based on Solana, performed a rug pull on a pre-sale of its NFTs. Out of the total of 8,000 NFTs promised, 2,000 were sold in a pre-sale wherein each NFT was available at 0.5 SOL.
Post the pe-sale of these NFTs, the buyers received emojis instead of artwork, and the 1,000 SOL deposited from sales was dispersed into several accounts as per the blockchain data.
