Polygon’s NFT Ecosystem Hits Major Milestone

Polygon-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have achieved a major milestone in 2025, surpassing $2 billion in all-time sales volume. The surge highlights the growing appeal of the network’s digital collectible space, even as the broader NFT market struggles with declining volumes.

According to data from CryptoSlam, Polygon has seen consistent growth in NFT sales since late 2024. The platform’s monthly sales began at $16.3 million in November 2024 and have increased steadily each month, reaching $74.7 million in May 2025.

Real-World Assets Fuel Sales Growth

A key driver behind Polygon’s 2025 growth has been Courtyard, a marketplace focused on tokenised real-world assets (RWAs). Courtyard now stands as the second-largest Polygon NFT collection by all-time sales, with $277 million, closely trailing DraftKings, which holds $287 million.

The success of Courtyard underscores a growing trend within the NFT ecosystem—integrating real-world assets into blockchain-based collectibles. If current momentum continues, Courtyard could soon overtake DraftKings to become the top collection on the network.

Transaction Volume and User Engagement on the Rise

Polygon’s NFT boom isn’t limited to monetary figures. The network has also recorded sharp rises in transaction activity and user participation. Between March and May 2025, monthly NFT transactions on Polygon consistently surpassed 800,000.

User engagement remains robust, with the number of unique buyers peaking at 134,000 in February. In parallel, the average sales value has also increased notably—from around $26 in November and December to nearly $89 in May, marking a 242% rise.

Polygon Defies NFT Market Slump

While Polygon thrives, the overall NFT market has experienced a downturn. After reaching a high of $900 million in monthly sales in December 2024, the broader NFT space saw five consecutive months of decline. By April 2025, global NFT sales volumes had dropped to $373 million.

However, May brought a glimmer of recovery, with total NFT sales rising to $430 million—an increase of 15% compared to April. The number of users participating in NFT purchases also surged to over 900,000 in May, a 50% jump from the previous month.

A Bullish Outlook for Polygon NFTs

Despite a turbulent year for NFTs overall, Polygon’s consistent rise paints a bullish picture for the network’s future. With rising transaction volumes, increasing average sale prices, and strong user engagement, Polygon has emerged as a leading force in the evolving NFT landscape.

The growing success of RWA-linked collections like Courtyard further cements Polygon’s position as a hub for innovative NFT applications, suggesting that the network may continue to thrive even amid wider market fluctuations.
