NFT Sales Rise 12% Even as Bitcoin, Ethereum Prices Fall

According to CryptoSlam data, NFT sales volume has climbed by 12.03% to $67.76 million, up from last week’s $64.95 million.

The global crypto market cap now stands at $2.99 trillion, down from last week’s $3.07 trillion. However, the NFT sector has bucked this trend with a solid recovery in both sales and participation.
