International NFT sales saw a dramatic increase in the first week of August 2025, topping $165 million. That’s a 20% jump from last week. Ethereum and BNB Chain spearheaded this growth.
Ethereum continued to dominate the market with $85 million in NFT sales, which represented a 29% increase week-over-week. At a very distant second place was BNB Chain, with $15 million in sales—a whopping 45% jump from the previous quarter. Polygon had a nice week as well, up 16% with $16 million in sales.
The NFT market plunged from a peak of $800 million per week in NFT trading sales during the first week of August 2025. Total global NFT sales over the past week were just $165 million, though that still represents a 20% increase from the week prior. This increase is emblematic of someone much larger digital asset adoption trend.
All of this further cemented Ethereum’s dominance as the key foundational platform for NFTs. Even the most notable collections—such as CryptoPunks and Courtyard—saw double-digit sales increases. This illustrates the value of having strong, proven fundamentals continuing to drive interest in blue chip NFT projects.
Bitcoin-based NFTs had a historic presence as well, achieving $14 million in trading volume. Bitcoin NFTs increased 6.06% to $14M, solidifying an exploding trend of NFT activity on the Bitcoin blockchain. Digital art, gaming and brand adoption fueled the rise in NFT sales.
Market analysts expect the momentum to continue as blockchain infrastructure and use cases keep maturing. They hope that all of these could be catalysts for tech-related year-end bull runs.
