“# NFT sales top $2.5B in first half of 2021 <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Sales of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) have surged to record highs in the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

There has been $2.5 billion in NFT sales in the first six months of this year according to Dapp<\/a>Radar, a massive increase over the $13.7 million in sales for the same period in 2020.<\/p>\n

Citing stats from Dune Analytics, Reuters reported<\/a> that June has been a record month for the OpenSea NFT marketplace with almost $150 million in sales. This is almost a thousand percent higher than the sales figure for all markets over the entire first half of the previous year.<\/p>\n

NFT buyers and enthusiasts view them as unique digital collectibles with intrinsic value because of their cultural significance. Others simply treat them as investments, speculating on rising prices.<\/p>\n

According to NonFungible.com, which aggregates Ethereum- based NFT transactions, there have been between 10,000 and 20,000 buyers per week since early March. The NFT tracking and discovery platform reported that there had been $1.3 billion in sales for the period, but excluded around $8 billion in DeFi-based NFTs. <\/p>\n

The most prolific NFT sale so far has been by renowned artist Beeple with his \u201cEverydays: The First 500 Days\u201d fetching a staggering $69 million dollars in March following a Christie\u2019s auction.<\/p>\n

Sales figures from analytics platforms such as DappRadar only track on-chain transactions meaning those sold at auction may have part of the transaction take place off-chain, so they must be manually added to the data, Reuters noted.<\/p>\n

Collectible and sports-themed NFTs are the most popular according to data from Nonfungible with digital art coming in third place. Almost 300,000 sports-related tokens have been sold in the first half of the year compared to 124,000 for art. Its latest figure for June 6 reported<\/a> just shy of 140,000 total NFT sales on the day for Ethereum-based tokens.<\/p>\n

As reported by Cointelegraph in June, NFT transaction volume has multiplied by more than 25 times since December 2020 as they usher in a new paradigm of interacting with culture, music, sports, and the media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
