Globally, NFT sales reached approximately $46.78 million, up 6.8% from the previous seven-day period.
However, the broader market data requires some context. Buyer addresses declined sharply across major blockchains, while transaction counts increased substantially.

Bitcoin Ranks Second in NFT Sales
Bitcoin ranked second globally in NFT sales during the period, behind Ethereum's approximately $16.83 million.
While Ethereum's sales declined 6.36%, Bitcoin's NFT volume increased by more than 50%.
CryptoSlam recorded approximately 2,255 Bitcoin buyer addresses, down 82.79% from the previous period.
The sharp difference between sales growth and buyer-address activity suggests that Bitcoin's increase was driven largely by higher-value transactions rather than a broad increase in the number of participants.
CryptoSlam also reported approximately $74,767 in Bitcoin wash-trading volume.
Wash-trading figures are displayed separately from NFT sales and should not be treated as additional collectible purchases.

BRC-20 NFTs Drive Bitcoin's Biggest Transactions
The strongest Bitcoin activity came from BRC-20-related NFT collections.
Among the largest individual NFT sales displayed by CryptoSlam, Bitcoin-based BRC-20 NFTs occupied all five top positions during the reporting period.
The largest transaction involved a $X@AI BRC-20 NFT, which sold for approximately $2.10 million, equivalent to around 26.23 BTC.
That single transaction represented roughly 72% of the $X@AI collection's $2.90 million weekly sales.
This concentration is important.
Bitcoin's rising NFT sales do not necessarily indicate that thousands of collectors are returning to the market. Instead, several large transactions were responsible for a substantial portion of the reported volume.

$X@AI BRC-20 NFTs Record Major Weekly Growth
The $X@AI BRC-20 NFTs collection generated approximately $2.90 million in weekly sales.
CryptoSlam showed the collection's sales increasing approximately 217.88% from the previous period.
However, the collection recorded only nine transactions involving seven buyer addresses.
The data demonstrates how percentage increases can become extremely large when activity starts from a relatively small base.
The $2.10 million transaction also means that one sale accounted for the majority of the collection's weekly volume.
$X@AGI Also Sees Sharp Increase
Another Bitcoin-based collection, $X@AGI BRC-20 NFTs, generated approximately $1.72 million across just three transactions.
CryptoSlam reported a weekly increase of more than 7,700%, although the percentage is heavily influenced by the collection's limited transaction history.
Its largest displayed transaction was approximately $1.14 million, accounting for roughly two-thirds of its weekly sales.
These figures reinforce the importance of looking beyond headline percentage increases when evaluating Bitcoin NFT activity.
Bitcoin Collections Dominate High-Value Sales
Bitcoin's strength was even more visible in the individual-sales rankings.
The five largest NFT transactions displayed by CryptoSlam during the reporting period were all Bitcoin BRC-20 NFTs.
The largest was the $X@AI transaction at approximately $2.10 million.
Bitcoin's $ATMC BRC-20 NFTs collection also generated approximately $920,976 in weekly sales, representing an increase of roughly 80% from the previous period.
The concentration of large transactions in Bitcoin-based collections indicates that BRC-20 assets continue to attract significant value despite the relatively small number of transactions involved.
Bitcoin's NFT Growth Comes With Lower Buyer Counts
One of the most notable elements of the latest data is the contrast between rising Bitcoin NFT sales and falling buyer addresses.
Bitcoin recorded a 50.12% increase in sales, while buyer addresses dropped by more than 82%.
This means the market cannot simply be described as a broad-based surge in NFT participation.
Instead, the available data suggests that higher-value transactions are driving much of Bitcoin's weekly NFT growth.
This distinction is particularly important for investors and market observers assessing whether the latest increase represents sustainable adoption or concentrated trading activity.
Ethereum Still Leads the Overall NFT Market
Despite Bitcoin's strong weekly performance, Ethereum remained the largest blockchain for NFT sales.
Ethereum recorded approximately $16.83 million in sales during the period, compared with Bitcoin's $9.44 million.
Polygon ranked third at approximately $7.71 million, followed by BNB Chain at $4.02 million.
Base generated approximately $2.48 million, while Solana recorded around $2.30 million.
The six leading networks together accounted for roughly $42.78 million of the $46.78 million global NFT sales total.
Bitcoin therefore remains an important part of the NFT market, but Ethereum continues to lead in overall dollar volume.
Global NFT Sales Rise 6.8%
Across all blockchains, NFT sales increased approximately 6.8% to $46.78 million during the seven-day period.
CryptoSlam recorded around 917,549 transactions, representing a 48.75% increase.
At the same time, the number of buyer addresses fell approximately 84.67% to 41,959, while seller addresses declined 85.13% to 43,247.
The divergence shows why transaction counts and sales volume should be interpreted carefully.
A market can record more transactions and higher dollar volume while still having fewer unique addresses participating.
What the Data Means for Bitcoin
The latest figures reinforce Bitcoin's growing role in the NFT and digital-asset market.
BRC-20 inscriptions and related Bitcoin-based assets have created another market around Bitcoin's blockspace, expanding the network's use beyond traditional BTC transfers.
However, the current sales data also highlights the volatility of this segment.
Large individual transactions can have an outsized effect on weekly rankings, particularly for collections with only a handful of sales.
For Bitcoin, sustained growth would be more convincing if higher sales were accompanied by increasing buyer participation, transaction activity and broader collection demand.
BRC-20 Activity Remains a Key Bitcoin Market Indicator
BRC-20 assets remain one of the most visible examples of Bitcoin's expanding application layer.
Unlike traditional BTC transfers, inscription-based assets use Bitcoin's blockchain for additional forms of digital asset activity.
This has created new demand for blockspace while also generating debate about transaction fees, network congestion and Bitcoin's long-term role as a programmable asset platform.
The latest NFT numbers show that there is still substantial value moving through Bitcoin-based digital collectibles.
The challenge is determining how much of that activity represents durable ecosystem growth versus concentrated speculative transactions.
Conclusion
Bitcoin recorded a strong week in the NFT market, with sales reaching approximately $9.44 million, up 50.12% from the previous seven-day period.
The increase was largely driven by high-value BRC-20 NFT transactions, with Bitcoin-based collections occupying the top five positions in CryptoSlam's largest individual sales rankings.
The largest displayed transaction, a $X@AI BRC-20 NFT, sold for approximately $2.10 million, highlighting the significant value that can move through Bitcoin's emerging NFT market.
At the same time, buyer addresses fell sharply, showing that the increase was concentrated among a relatively small number of participants.
For Bitcoin, the latest data provides another sign that the network's use cases continue expanding beyond traditional BTC transfers.
The next question is whether BRC-20 and Bitcoin NFT activity can translate into broader participation and sustained demand, rather than relying primarily on a small number of high-value transactions.
