NFT news april week 3

The market values of both Bitcoin and Ethereum fell in the third week of April. Bitcoin’s decline below the $29,000 support level indicates a potential short-term negative trend. Additionally, Ethereum has experienced a decline recently, but it appears to have stabilized around the $1,900 level. This could potentially pave the way for a recovery in the coming days. 

For now, let’s see how it has affected NFTs and look into the state of the NFT market.

1) NFT Market Cap & Volume 

In the third week of April, the NFT market cap fell by 1.98% to $9.32M, indicating a slight decline in the value of NFTs. Meanwhile, the seven-day volume of NFTs traded dropped significantly by 24.42% to 121.04K ETH.

2) Mixed Counts in NFT Market Continue

The third week of April shows a similar trend in the NFT trading market to the second week. NFT holders increased by 0.27% to 4.352M. However, the number of traders fell by 34.44% to 67.795K, indicating a slowdown in trading activity.

Furthermore, the number of buyers and sellers decreased by 32.03% and 39.32%, to 37.83K and 43.798K, respectively, in the third week of April. This suggests that consumer interest in NFTs may be diminishing, which could be influenced by various factors such as market sentiment, price changes, and changes in consumer behavior.

3) Drop in NFT OpenSea Trading Continues 

On the OpenSea platform, there has been a significant drop in the number of unique active wallets (UAW), which has decreased by 29.77% to 49.81k. A significant slowdown in trading activity on the platform was also seen in the number of transactions, which fell by 44.87% to 109.92k.

Furthermore, trading volume on the platform fell by 21.1% to $41.65M, indicating that users traded less frequently during the third week of April. However, in the same period, OpenSea’s smart contract balance increased by 1.19% to $74.37k. These figures might point to a potential decline in user interest or a move away from one NFT trading platform in favor of another.

4) Loss in Blur Activity 

The number of active users on the Blur platform fell by 29.08% to 20.37k, while the number of transactions dropped by 34% to 67.19k. In addition, the smart contract balance decreased by 23.5% to $98.99M. These figures may suggest a decline in investor interest or investors withdrawing funds from the platform.

However, trading volume increased significantly by 18.44% to $289.87M. The increase in trading volume may indicate that fewer investors are making bigger trades or that new investors are entering the market, despite the decline in active users and transactions.
