The non-fungible token market extended its year-end downturn in December, with total sector valuation falling to roughly $2.5 billion. That marks a 72% decline from January’s peak and underscores the absence of a seasonal rebound as liquidity thinned into year-end.
Trading activity remained subdued throughout the month. Weekly NFT sales failed to exceed $70 million during the first three weeks of December, while participation metrics deteriorated further. The number of unique buyers and sellers dropped sharply, with seller counts falling below 100,000 for the first time since 2021, alongside a decline in total transactions.
Price performance among major collections mirrored the broader slowdown. Leading projects such as CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club posted double-digit floor price declines over 30 days, though select art-focused collections showed relative resilience. Overall, the data points to waning speculative interest and a more selective NFT market environment.
