Data from cryptoslam.io indicates a 29.04% decrease in the number of NFT buyers and a 17.02% reduction in the number of sellers.

Additionally, NFT transactions fell to about 7.45 million, marking a 50% decline from the previous month.

Among the top five blockchains by NFT sales, four saw decreases, with Mythos Chain being the sole exception, showing a 14.31% increase in sales.

Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) led the market with $129 million in NFT sales, though this represented a 37.53% decrease from July.
