ETH: NFT Sales
Included with Plus.
The number of NFTs sold each day on the covered marketplaces.
Why use it. Sales count how busy the market is regardless of price, so one very expensive sale can't move it. How to read it. More sales with falling volume means cheap NFTs are changing hands; fewer sales with rising volume means money is concentrating in expensive ones.
Calculation. Covers sales settled on Seaport (the contract OpenSea and several other marketplaces run on), Blur's exchanges, LooksRare and the CryptoPunks contract, read from their own events on CryptoKeyhole's Ethereum archive node. Sales routed through aggregators settle on these contracts and count once. Sales paid in anything other than ETH, WETH, Blur's pool, USDC, USDT or DAI are left out, and so are CryptoPunks bids accepted, whose event logs no price. History is read newest first and reaches back to January 2022 at the earliest: before that most sales ran through a contract whose events do not say what was sold. Prices in dollars convert to ether at the day's close of CryptoKeyhole's ETH/USD index, and the other way round. The open day is a labelled partial.
