“The number of daily unique users in both markets is at an all-time low,” SeaLaunch said.
It’s unclear why the daily users and sales of the NFT marketplace have plummeted. SeaLaunch said that due to the significant reduction in activity across markets and users, from professional traders to more casual users, it is likely that “macro scenarios” are affecting market trading patterns. SeaLaunch also cited “high gas prices” and “liquidity issues during tax season” as possible reasons.
“Other circumstances could have contributed to this as well, such as a large number of Blur airdrop hunters reducing volume and liquidity, and memecoin frenzy over the past few days with currencies like PEPE”.

Hildobby had a similar take:
“I think it’s a combination of factors, but the biggest factor (in my opinion) is that there hasn’t been a lot of interesting things happening with NFTs lately, and the rapid rise in gas prices isn’t helping either.”
Not all indicators sound pessimistic. Ether (ETH) trading volumes on the NFT market have remained relatively steady over the past 30 days, according to Dune. SeaLaunch also noted that Uniswap has seen an increase in daily active users over the past two weeks compared to those of OpenSea and Blur.
