- The NFT market is witnessing a significant shift, with Cardano’s NFT floor price 22% higher than Ethereum’s, implying growing interest in Cardano’s NFT trading potential.
- Cardano’s NFT price surge, Ethereum, maintains trading volume dominance, according to CryptoSlam data.
The NFT market is undergoing a significant change, demonstrated by Cardano’s NFT floor price index is 22% higher than Ethereum’s, according to information provided by Stocktwits NFTs. Based on the 7-day charts, this comparison indicates a noticeable shift in interest toward Cardano as an NFT trading platform. Despite Ethereum’s historical dominance in this field, there’s a growing attraction to Cardano.
Nevertheless, despite the remarkable surge in Cardano’s NFT floor price, it still trails behind in overall trading volume. Recent data from CryptoSlam reveals that Ethereum holds a significant market lead, boasting a total trading volume of $13,279,162 with 11,197 buyers. In contrast, Cardano occupies the ninth position with a trading volume of $180,637, although it does have a respectable count of 1,555 buyers.
This contrast highlights that Ethereum remains the preferred choice for trading volume while individual Cardano NFTs steadily depreciate.
Solana and Polygon secure the second and third positions with $1,601,313 and $1,235,318 in initial sales, respectively. The tweet from Stocktwits NFTs further prompts the question, “When will projects migrate to Cardano?” suggesting the potential transfer of projects from other platforms to Cardano in the future.

This potential migration could be attributed to the surge in Cardano’s NFT prices and its prospective advantages as an NFT platform. However, it’s important to approach this transition with careful optimism. While Cardano displays promise in the NFT sector, Ethereum’s well-established dominance, backed by greater trading volumes and a larger user base, solidifies its continued prominence as a major player in the market.
Several other platforms are competing to gain a share of the NFT market. Notably, Solana and Polygon have solidified their roles as significant participants. Recording initial sales of $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, these platforms are also establishing a presence in the NFT landscape.
Price Movement of ADA and ETH
Despite the rise in NFT floor prices, the inherent tokens of Ethereum and Cardano have not replicated the upward trend of their individual NFT markets. In the last week, Cardano’s native token (ADA) has experienced a decrease of 9.94%, resulting in its current price of $0.26 at the time of this writing. Furthermore, ADA’s market capitalization has experienced a significant decline over the previous week, dropping from a peak of $10.1 billion to its current value of $9.3 billion.
ADA’s downward trend has persisted in the last 24 hours, marking an additional decrease of 2.07%. Ethereum has faced a similar trajectory, with the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization undergoing an almost 9.57% decrease in the past week. Ethereum’s price has fallen from $1844 last Monday to its current value of $1,662, reflecting a nearly 0.44% decline within the last 24 hours alone. This decline translates to a reduction of $20 billion in Ethereum’s market capitalization during the same period.
