Deep Dive

1. Weekly Leaders

The latest weekly rankings show Ethereum at roughly $20.88 million, then Bitcoin $12.12 million, BNB $7.77 million, Polygon $6.06 million, and Mythos $5.46 million (see the report above). Immutable and Solana followed with $3.20 million and $2.93 million respectively.

2. Participation Trend

Despite soft turnover, buyer and seller counts increased week over week (buyers up ~26%, sellers up ~24%), indicating more participants but lower average ticket sizes than prior periods, per the PANews summary.

3. Drivers and Collections

Top weekly collections reflected this mix: DMarket on Mythos and Courtyard on Polygon ranked high, while CryptoPunks activity kept Ethereum prominent (the report above). The broader backdrop stayed weak with total NFT market value near $2.5 billion in late December per a market update.

Conclusion

Leadership in NFT sales is diversified: Ethereum holds the base, Bitcoins BRC?20 momentum is significant, and Polygon/Mythos capture gaming and utility flows. Participation is up but tickets are smaller, so leadership can rotate week to week as narratives shift and liquidity concentrates.
