According to data from analytics platform Santiment, Solana [SOL] reached 1.65 million in NFT sales as of 26 September. This was the highest it stood at in September. However, can Solana’s growth in the NFT space keep SOL afloat?
As can be seen from the image below, Solana’s NFT’s volume has been growing steadily over the past month. Some of the hype behind this spike in NFT’s could be attributed to Solana’s highest performing NFT degods and the newly introduced y00ts NFT’s.
These NFT didn’t just help in pumping up the volume but also helped drive the overall floor value of Solana’s marketplace.
Solana’s NFT growth can also be indicated by the increase in the total floor value of the Solana NFT marketplace. The hike in the value began on the 21 August when the total floor value was at 341,806,095. At the time of writing, this value has gone all the way up to 518,927,609.

But that’s not all. The number of Solana NFT’s released were on the rise as well. According to everstake pool, a decentralized staking provider, the number of minted Solana NFTs also witnessed considerable growth.
Furthermore, the community tweeted on the 25 September about how a massive uptick was witnessed in terms of Solana NFT’s released on their NFT platform metaplex. The platform witnessed 1,219,289 of Solana NFT’s releases over the past week. This can be taken as another sign of growth for Solana’s marketplace.
On a sour note…
