NFT Market Slides to 2025 Lows as Buyers and Sellers Pull Back
The post NFT Market Slides to 2025 Lows as Buyers and Sellers Pull Back appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) extended their year-end slide in December, with total market valuations falling to their lowest level in 2025. According to data from CoinGecko, the overall valuation of the NFT sector fell to $2.5 billion in December. This represented a 72% decline from a peak of $9.2 billion in January. The decline came as NFT sales activity remained subdued following a weak November performance. In December, weekly NFT sales failed to surpass $70 million during the first three weeks of the month, falling below November’s pace. December is on track to reinforce late 2025’s downward trend as year-end liquidity thins. The NFT market has not been able to return to its former glory, despite renewed use-case interest driven by a surge in physical collectibles including Labubu and Pokémon cards earlier in the year.

According to CryptoSlam, total NFT transactions in the third week of December declined to 800,000, after the month’s opening week recorded fewer than 1 million transactions.
