The non-fungible token (NFT) market has seen a significant drop today.

The sales volume has dropped 25.2% in 24 hours to $25,976,386.

Also, buyers are down 21.3%, sellers 12.75%, and transactions 34.2%.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin was in second and Avalanche in third place.

Today in NFT news: Solana NFT sales drop 80%, Bybit launches an integrated Bitcoin and EVM inscription marketplace, Japan Airlines and Hakuhodo partner on an NFT collection, and Mutant Cartel reveals ‘Serum City’.
