Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have maintained their monthly sales momentum, surging by 57.8% in November as digital collectibles continue to recover. 

On Dec. 1, data company CryptoSlam showed that NFTs recorded $562 million in sales in November, a substantial increase in volume from October. CryptoSlam data also indicates that November’s monthly sales volume for NFTs is the highest since May, when digital collectibles had a $599 million sales volume.

Despite the surge, NFT monthly volumes are still far from their peak in 2024. In March, digital collectible sales volumes recorded a yearly high of $1.6 billion. However, this was followed by a seven-month slump, with each month’s sales volume decreasing until it reached its lowest point since 2021.

According to crypto data website DefiLlama, the NFT collection had a floor price of 26.3 Ether (ETH) on Nov. 1.
