rewrite this title Polygon NFT Sales Hit Record: Total Volume Exceeds $2 Billion

Polygon-based NFTs have continued to rise despite a downturn in the overall digital collectibles market, pushing their cumulative sales volume past $2 billion. Unique Polygon-based tokens (NFTs) have reached an all-time sales volume of over $2 billion, marking a significant milestone for digital collectibles on the network.

This achievement comes amid consistent growth in monthly sales over the past few months, highlighting the interest and adoption of Polygon’s NFT ecosystem. According to CryptoSlam data, monthly sales on Polygon have trended upward since November 2024.

Starting at $16.3 million in November 2024, sales rose to approximately $20 million in December, $25 million in January 2025, and $37 million in February. This momentum continued into the first half of 2025: March saw $62.5 million in sales, April reached $71 million, and May climbed to $74.7 million.

The chart above, compiled by Cointelegraph, is based on CryptoSlam data and shows Polygon’s monthly NFT sales.

Growth in Polygon’s NFT Sales Is Driven by the RWA Market

CryptoSlam data indicate that Polygon’s steady growth throughout 2025 is fueled by sales on the Courtyard marketplace, where real-world assets (RWAs) are bought and sold as NFTs. A large portion of the network’s NFT sales volume consists of tokenized RWAs associated with Courtyard.

This marketplace has become Polygon’s second-largest collection after DraftKings, setting a record on the network. Courtyard’s all-time sales volume stands at $277 million, compared to DraftKings’ $287 million. If the RWA sector maintains its momentum, Courtyard could overtake DraftKings next month.

Polygon’s NFT ecosystem growth is not limited to sales volume. Transaction activity and user engagement have also risen significantly throughout 2025. From March to May, monthly NFT transactions on the network exceeded 800,000.

Unique buyer counts remained strong throughout the year, peaking at 134,000 in February. Additionally, the average sale price rose from about $26 in November and December to nearly $89 in May—a 242 percent increase.

Polygon Defies the NFT Market Downturn

Polygon’s NFT growth runs counter to a broader market trend of decline in digital collectibles. After reaching $900 million in total volume in December 2024, monthly NFT sales fell for five consecutive months, hitting a low of $373 million in April.

This downward trend finally reversed in May, when monthly NFT sales rose 15 percent to $430 million. The number of NFT buyers also jumped over 50 percent compared to April, exceeding 900,000 in May.
