During that time the top five NFT collections, in terms of all-time sales volume, have collectively accrued $12.7 billion in sales volume.
5 Non-Fungible Token Projects Capture $12.7 Billion in Sales
Two years ago, the search query “NFT” first appeared on Google Trends (GT), reaching a score of 1 out of 100 in the first month of 2021. Before that time, GT data shows little to no interest in NFTs, despite their existence since 2014. A year later, NFTs were quite popular and the search query reached a score of 100 as searches for the term skyrocketed. Another year later, interest in NFTs has decreased significantly, with the search query reaching a score of 11 out of 100 during the week of January 22-28, 2023.
As January 2023 ends, metrics indicate that the top five NFT collections by all-time sales volume have recorded a total of $12.7 billion in sales volume since they began receiving significant attention.
