According to data from NonFungible, the overall amount of NFT sales has begun falling over the past month, with the number of sales falling by around 63 percent to 9,000 and the volume of sales in USD falling by more than 87 percent. The number of unique buyers and sellers, primary and secondary sales, and active market wallets are all down by 40 to 88 percent.
Major markets have suffered as a result of the recent NFT decline. According to reports, on June 25th, OpenSea's daily trade volume had fallen to approximately USD 837,000, its lowest level in more than a year. Since then, the primary market's trading volume has slightly risen, reaching USD 14.5m in the previous 24 hours.

ETH has the best weekly performance among the top ten coins by market capitalization as of 8:23 UTC on Tuesday morning, trading at USD 1,515, up 2.2 percent in a day and 38 percent in a week.
