This was also the fourth consecutive week of increasing total NFT sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We should still be focused on the number of transactions and the lack of growth there.\u00a0 Those who are already in NFTs have newfound conviction to buy grails, but outside of those traders, we\u2019re not seeing anyone spending their crypto on NFTs. This should be concerning or at the very least, tempering expectations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For now, a certain set of traders are very active. Specifically, the ones who feed liquidity to the rest of the market. Right now they are buying grail NFTs like rare CryptoPunks and Bored Apes, and scooping up NFTs from iconic collections like Cryptoadz, Doodles, and even Supducks are seeing some life. Usually, these types of purchases trickle down the food chain to the broader NFT community and fuel prolonged mini-runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" width=\"495\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/ci4.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/MIH1ZtdFr1jjlq1GYGSSJB-SwgSVh_mC1y6ZJBybRg9PDue0TNuj6puxy26IuGI2G9K0Afx06mHcaYMTzNzgnvdwnTPm65_ID1g-tRUXW3x-NxA0uPQawgg-YpYu7_zq2Ix9LXNb0UA8atvO3XaPfbAELHvawqky=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/hostedimages-cdn.aweber-static.com\/MTcyNTY2Nw==\/original\/dcba7e42925c4e11b944cb982b67f790.png\" alt=\"dcba7e42925c4e11b944cb982b67f790\" title=\"NFTs are mainstream again? 3\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"495\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/ci4.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/MIH1ZtdFr1jjlq1GYGSSJB-SwgSVh_mC1y6ZJBybRg9PDue0TNuj6puxy26IuGI2G9K0Afx06mHcaYMTzNzgnvdwnTPm65_ID1g-tRUXW3x-NxA0uPQawgg-YpYu7_zq2Ix9LXNb0UA8atvO3XaPfbAELHvawqky=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/hostedimages-cdn.aweber-static.com\/MTcyNTY2Nw==\/original\/dcba7e42925c4e11b944cb982b67f790.png\" alt=\"dcba7e42925c4e11b944cb982b67f790\" title=\"NFTs are mainstream again? 3\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Soure: CoinMarketCap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Expect the current market trend to continue for at least the next 13 days before Blur\u2019s season 2 ends on Nov 20.
