The non-fungible token market has experienced a significant and sustained downturn over the past three months, characterized by declining trading sales volumes, falling prices for major collections, and a sharp decline in market capitalization.

NFT Market Falls +28% In Q4 2024

Data compiled by cryptoslam.io, one of the leading crypto and non-fungible token market data explorers tracking NFTs across more than 20 blockchain networks, indicates that the global NFT market experienced negative growth in the fourth quarter of 2025. In the past three months, the NFT market has recorded a trading sales volume of $1.25 million, representing a 28% decrease from Q3 2025.

The global non-fungible token market has been a rollercoaster in 2025. It began the year healthy, reaching a total trading sales volume of $1.55 billion in Q1, 2025. This NFT surge was fueled by the election of President Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America. In January, the global NFT market raised a trading sales volume of $678 million, down +40% from $900 million in Dec 2024.

Unfortunately, the US presidential election hype did not fuel the NFT market for long, and so it faded mid-month. In response to the cooling of the NFT market, the global NFT market saw a trading sales volume of $477 million, down 24% from $678 million in January 2025. The NFT market further declined, dropping from $477 million in February to $430 million in March 2025. The NFT market ended the first quarter of the year with a trading sale of over $1.6 billion.

The NFT market experienced a meltdown in Q2, 2025, with trading sales volume reducing to $1.3 billion. In April 2025, the global NFT market recorded a trading sales volume of $370 million, a decrease of over $50 million from the previous month. The global NFT market meltdown continued in May and June 2025, with trading sales volumes falling to $473 million and $401 million, respectively.

The NFT market began to recover in July after tokenized real-world assets gained significant traction among NFT traders. At the time, RWA NFT collections gained traction because they offered a way to tokenize and trade ownership of physical assets, like real estate or art, on a blockchain. In response to the massive adoption of RWA NFTs, the NFT market saw a trading sale of $596 million in July 2025, representing a 30% increase from the previous month.

The NFT market continued to grow throughout August, reaching a total trading sales volume of $604 million. In September, the NFT market plunged to $555 million after US President Donald Trump revived trade wars with China and Canada, fueling heavy volatility. In October, Trump slowed the pace of trade wars, a move that fueled trading sales volume to reach $629 million, up 30% from September.

Unfortunately, the global NFT market has since suffered a month-over-month decline, dropping from $629 million in October 2025 to $320 million in November. In December 2025, the NFT market continued to decline, recording a trading sales volume of $303 million. Cumulatively, the NFT market has amassed a trading sales volume of $1.25 billion in Q4, 2025. The NFT floor prices have also gone down in Q4 2025.
