GameSquare Holdings drew further attention to the market by acquiring Punk #5577 for $5.15 million in preferred stock. The NFT, one of just 24 ape-themed Punks, was originally claimed in 2017 for $454 and last sold for $7.7 million in 2022.

This month’s NFT market growth can also be confirmed by Snoop Dogg’s new NFT collection’s success. Earlier this month, the rapper sold nearly 1 million NFTs within 30 minutes of launch, generating over $12 million in proceeds.

Pudgy Penguins PENGU $0.0391 24h volatility: 5.7% Market cap: $2.46 B Vol. 24h: $958.79 M , another top collection, briefly overtook CryptoPunks in seven-day trading volume last week but has since moved back to the second spot.

Short-Term Drop Amid Broader Crypto Decline

Despite the positive momentum in July, NFT trading remains sensitive to broader market shifts. DappRadar previously reported a consistent decline in NFT trading volumes from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025 before the July rebound, highlighting the volatility in the sector.

Recent data from Cryptoslam shows NFT sales volume falling by 45% to $32.4 million in the past 24 hours, following a 1% drop in the overall crypto market cap.

Experts had previously predicted an NFT rebound. In May, DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas noted the sector could make a comeback but would need new catalysts, with real-world assets cited as a potential driver for sustained growth.
