NFT Sales Climb 18% in October

The NFT market bounced back in October with an 18% increase in sales volume, reversing a seven-month downward trend.

According to CryptoSlam data, NFTs saw a monthly volume of $356 million, up from September’s low of approximately $300 million, the lowest level since 2021, reports Ruholamin Haqshanas for CryptoNews.

NFT trading had been declining steadily since March, when monthly volumes peaked at $1.6 billion. In November, Kraken announced it is shutting down its NFT marketplace nearly two years after its launch.
