November saw a significant boost in non-fungible token (NFT) sales, closing the month at a six-month high.
According to CryptoSlam data, NFT sales in November reached over $562 million, a 57% increase compared to October. This marks the highest monthly figure since May, when sales exceeded $599 million.
Bitcoin-based and Cryptopunks NFTs played a major role in driving this surge. Six CryptoPunks ranked among the top NFT sales over the last 30 days, with prices ranging from $300,000 to over $500,000.
Additionally, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs contributed to the growth, with three pieces selling for more than $200,000 each.
Ethereum maintained its position as the leading blockchain for NFT activity in November, recording $228.2 million in sales. Bitcoin followed with $188.9 million, while Solana accounted for $83.4 million.
Although these numbers remain below the peaks seen earlier this year — monthly NFT sales surpassed $1.2 billion in January — the recent uptick offers a glimmer of recovery.
The upward trend became evident mid-November, when NFT sales spiked 94% in a single week, reaching $181 million.
