January was the best month for token prices in almost a year, with ETH, BTC, and altcoins making their sharpest gains since July. Naturally, this led to increased volume and market cap in the NFT industry.
Some metrics were predictable, like the number of investment rounds closed continuing to slide. The breakdown of NFT volume by chain has stayed the same, with Ethereum still the go-to chain for NFTs, followed distantly by Solana and Polygon.
However, other developments were both significant and unexpected. Whereas during the bull market, analysts and experts debated whether LooksRare or another marketplace would overtake OpenSea, NFT aggregators have become the dominant force in the industry. While we covered the emergence of these platforms last November, a new aggregator, Blur, has taken the sector by storm, becoming a leading player.
ETH increased from the low-$1,200s zone at the end of December to a January high of $1,660
The market cap of NFTs reached its peak on January 26 at $20B
Since November, the volume of NFT trading has been steadily increasing, reaching $989.9M in January.
Weekly NFTs users reached its apex of 127,887 on Jan. 27 the highest since last January and February.
Market share per chain remained almost the same as before, with Ethereum in the lead, followed by Solana and Polygon.
The percentage of trading on Ethereum detected as wash trading was 22% of the total, up from 19% in December
LookRare was the second most profitable NFT marketplace after OpenSea, generating $553M in platform fees
Aggregator platforms have become the go-to places to buy NFTs, and Blur has become the leader in this field
The NFT category continued witnessing a drop in rounds closed MoM, with 7 compared to December’s 5
Candy Digital, a sports NFT firm, closed the largest round with a $38M Series A
ETH increased from the low-$1,200s zone at the end of December to a January high of $1,660.

Going by token prices, January was a nice reprieve after a year of significant downward pressure created by macroeconomic conditions and compounded by a string of collapses in crypto.
The market cap of NFTs grew from $13B in December to $20B in January.

This was its largest monthly increase since July. For reference, the ATH of NFTs was $41B last April. The average per day was $18.9B.
Since November, the volume of NFT trading has been steadily increasing, reaching $989.9M in January.

NFT Volume by Chain (with Wash Trading Filtered)

The ATH for this metric was Feb. 2, 2022, with 132,139
The market share per chain for volume remained almost the same as previous months.

Ethereum remained far ahead in the lead, followed by Solana and Polygon.
LookRare was the second most profitable NFT marketplace after OpenSea, generating $553M in platform fees

Previously, many attributed LooksRare’s success entirely to wash trading. While much of the platform’s activity in prior months was not genuine, more recent analytics show that it is a span competitor to OpenSea with real trading.
