Overcoming Obstacles and Regaining Momentum

The Ethereum NFT market faced considerable challenges in 2022, including a dramatic drop from its peak market capitalization of $19.1 billion in February. Market events, such as the collapse of Terra Luna and FTXFTX$3.28 -5.38%, resulted in market value plummeting to $2.2 billion by November's end.

November's Recovery and Revival

Despite these obstacles, the Ethereum NFT market displayed resilience, showing signs of recovery in November 2022. While the market cap was reduced to $3.7 billion by the close of the year, it nonetheless registered a 68% increase in value from November.

February 2023 saw Ethereum's NFT sales volume peak at $950 million. However, bearish sentiments in the first and second quarters resulted in a significant decline.

November, however, marked a reversal, recording a sales volume of $348.61 million - the first month-on-month increase since February.
