Solana NFT Sales Volume Drops Below $1 Million
Making waves across NFT news rounds yesterday, operations on the Solana network have resumed following a five-hour outage on Tuesday. The Solana team said it is investigating the root cause.
As previously reported, this has affected the price of the native SOL token, as well as Solana NFT sales volume.
Over the past 24 hours, Solana has dropped nearly 44% to $712,096. This has pulled it down to sixth place by NFT sales volume.
To put this massive shift into context, Solana had – for weeks – been battling Bitcoin for the second place on the list. It had managed to surpass it several times.
Its daily NFT volume would move around $7 million at that time.
Bitcoin is now in second place, behind Ethereum, with nearly $8 million. Polygon follows it with $1.3 million.
Meanwhile, looking at the weekly charts, Solana is in third place despite a 31% drop. It recorded $34.9 in NFT sales volume. This is still significantly lower than Bitcoin’s $64.3 million.
Zooming out further, over the past 30 days, Solana is down 32.5% to $212.3 million, currently in 3rd spot.
But looking at the all-time ranking, Solana follows Ethereum, though with an understandably significant difference in sales volumes.
