- Ethereum maintains NFT -Dominance while Bitcoin drops to 19th rank.
- Do NFTs lose their attraction?
Q1 is coming to an end and although the quarter did not unfold so many, especially with Bitcoin [BTC] There was no higher highlights to be placed, there was still a surprising shift in the market.
The sale of non-favorable tokens (NFTs) saw a sharp decrease in the first quarter of 2025 and fell by 63% on an annual basis.
Bitcoin-based NFT sale also took a big hit, fell to $ 291 million in 2025, which marked a decrease of 79% of $ 1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
Ethereum, on the other hand [ETH] Continues to dominate and shows a weekly increase of 22% in the trade volume – precisely the opposite of the decrease in Bitcoin of 47% in the same period.
Does this turn out to be that Bitcoin loses his lead in the NFT room? Could this Ethereum give a further benefit?
DALLING NFT -Sales volume -signals that reduce the attraction
Ambcryptos analysis of the NFT -Marketplaats Indicates that Ethereum has retained its dominance in the total sales volume over several timetables.
Despite a monthly Retracement of 58%, Ethereum’s sales volume remained robust at $ 142 million USD.
Bitcoin, who initially had the second position, now went to the 19th rank and reflects a contraction of 80% in the sales volume of NFT.
This significant retracement corresponds to the total decrease in the total NFT turnover in all block chains, which have seen a reduction of 43.17% at the time of this writing.
This sharp contraction marks the worst month before the sale of NFT, which contributes to the quarterly withdrawal of 63%.

Main collection meals: Non-moldy tokens (NFTs), once considered a groundbreaking digital asset class, are now confronted with a significant decrease in the market.
Research Show that 98% of the NFT collections are hardly traded. In fact, only 0.2% of the NFT drops have been profitable. Most NFTs lose more than 50% of their value within a few days.
As noted by Ambcrypto, the speculative nature of NFTs also yields remarkable investment risks.
Historical parallels can be drawn with collective objects such as Beanie Babies, which fell a strong value after their first increase in popularity.
The constant dominance of Ethereum amidst the fall of the market
In January 2025, the NFT turnover of Ethereum won around 50% of the total market volume, a total of around $ 338 million.
Ethereum, however, experienced a retracement of 23.84% in the sales volume from December 2024 to January 2025.
The market performance of Ethereum in Q1 has also been predominantly Beerarish, with a drawing of 45%, which currently tests the critical support zone of $ 1,831. The price of $ 2,000 has become an important resistance zone.

Consequently, even loyal crypto lawyers have revised their price objectives for Ethereum in 2025, reducing expectations by 60%.
Despite the fact that ETH maintains its dominance in the NFT sector, a monthly contraction of 58% in the NFT sales volume has not succeeded in absorbing liquidity on the sales side-an important market phase in earlier bullish phases.
If this trend persists, the prevailing bearish sentiment around Ethereum can intensify. This could undermine its relative strength in relation to Bitcoin, reducing his competitive advantage.
