Top 10 NFTs By Weekly Sales Volume: Apes Stay Strong, Moonbirds and Meebits Climb, Three Newcomers And More

The non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace has seen a drop in sales volume on OpenSea, an NFT marketplace for buying and selling items.

NFT marketplace launches by Coinbase Global Inc COIN and GameStop Corp GME have likely brought more people into the NFT space over the last few months, but volume remains down from the 2021 time period.

A pullback in the price of Ethereum ETH/USD, the second largest cryptocurrency, in the first half of 2022 could have also impacted the volume of NFT sales.

Every week, Benzinga looks at the top 10 NFT projects by sales volume, as reported by CryptoSlam. Here were last week’s top 10 NFT collections (Monday to Sunday).

1. Bored Ape Yacht Club: $10.9 million, -7.2%

2. Ledger Market Pass: $8.5 million, N/A

3. Sorare: $6.6 million, -29.0%

4. Mutant Ape Yacht Club: $6.0 million, +28.1%
