The Forkast 500 NFT Index, a key indicator measuring the performance of NFTs through 500 smart contracts, fell to a two-month low in Asian markets. This decline highlights the broader challenges faced by the NFT market, particularly impacting major blockchains like Ethereum and Solana.

Ethereum's Decline

Ethereum, the largest blockchain for NFTs, reported a steep decline in sales—down by nearly 46.71% to $21.1 million over a 24-hour period. Despite this slump, the number of transactions increased by 5%, reaching 104,849. The Forkast ETH NFT Composite, which tracks Ethereum's NFT market performance, also dropped by 1.36%.

Solana's Struggles

Solana, the second-largest NFT blockchain, similarly faced a downturn with sales falling by approximately 33.7% to $2.59 million. The Forkast SOL NFT Composite indicated a performance drop of about 2%, underscoring the challenges within Solana's NFT market.

Polygon's Impressive Growth

Contrastingly, Polygon experienced a substantial upswing in NFT sales, climbing to nearly $2.56 million. This represents an impressive increase of 246.45%. The surge was largely driven by Coinllectibles, a Polygon project centered on art and auction, which accounted for nearly $2 million in sales within 24 hours.

These developments underscore the dynamic nature of the NFT market, with significant variations in performance across different blockchain platforms.
