This uptick was largely driven by blue-chip NFT collections. CryptoPunks, for instance, saw a remarkable 392% surge in sales volume, reaching over $49 million across 388 transactions—a 213% increase in activity compared to October. The floor price of CryptoPunks also climbed from 26.3 Ether (ETH) on Nov. 1 to 39.7 ETH by month’s end, equating to approximately $147,000 at current market rates.

Similarly, the Pudgy Penguins collection experienced a 262% rise in monthly sales volume, totaling $16 million. Its floor price increased from 8.7 ETH to 13 ETH (around $48,000) over the same period.

On the blockchain front, Ethereum led with over $216 million in NFT sales, marking a 12% uptick from October. Bitcoin-based NFTs recorded the highest percentage increase among major blockchains, with sales volumes nearly doubling to $186 million—a 99.44% jump. Other platforms like Solana, Mythos Chain, Immutable, Polygon, and BNB Chain collectively amassed $162.9 million in NFT sales for November.

This revival in the NFT market aligns with a broader crypto market upswing, suggesting renewed investor confidence and interest in digital collectibles. However, despite this positive trend, current NFT sales volumes remain well below the peaks observed earlier in previous cycles, indicating room for further growth
