Non-Fungible Token (NFT) sales were $4.77 billion at the end of January 2022. Since then, NFT sales have been declining month-over-month. Last month NFT sales were $549.82 million, showing that NFT sales are down more than 88% from January.

Apes, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our incredible community. We’re excited to announce the first BAYC community council made up of 7 long standing proactive community members to work alongside us moving forward. 🧵below

NFT Trade Volume and Search Queries Down by 88%

Non-fungible token (NFT) technology was popular in the second half of 2021 and the first month of 2022. In Google Trends (GT) data, the term “NFT” achieved the world’s highest score for search queries.

Today it scored 88% lower, with a score of 12 during the last week of September, from 25 September to 1 October 2022. Today, China is the most active region in the GT index, followed by Hong Kong, Singapore, Nigeria, and Taiwan. NFTs are nowhere to be seen. 

NFT sales surpassed $1 billion in May and reached $3.18 billion. The following month saw a significant drop to $879 million. In July, NFT sales were $682 million. August sales fell to $633 million after this, while September sales saw a drop of 13.27%.

NFTs Drop as Crypto Punk NFTs Perform Well

Even the most popular NFT is down by 37.49%. This is according to BAYC’s record sales in the previous month. However, Crypto Punk NFTs seem to be doing well. According to other statistics compiled by cryptoslam.io, the QQL Mint Pass project earned $27.8 million, while Cryptopunks earned $23.49 million this month.
