A rebound in NFT activity
Pretty much like the rangebound price action of several top crypto assets in the market, BNB’s NFT trading activity stagnated in May.
However, activity increased in June, with the daily sales volume breaking the $1 million mark for the first time in nearly two months on 14 June. This also marked a 26% increase in weekly sales volume.
The weekly trade count also jumped by 48%. This was a clear indicator that the trading activity was driven by an increase in overall transactions rather than a few high-value transactions driving up the volume.
At the time of writing, BNB Chain was the fourth-largest layer-1 (L1) blockchain in terms of NFT sales volume, trailing by market leader Ethereum [ETH], Bitcoin [BTC] and Solana [SOL].
The Binance ecosystem has been taking proactive steps in making the network appealing to NFT trading. It recently announced support for Bitcoin NFT on its dedicated NFT marketplace platform.
Network traffic slows down
The jump in NFT sales volume came despite a marked fall in the BNB Chain’s user base. As per Token Terminal, the weekly active user count dropped by more than 5% from the previous week.
As users stayed away, the network traffic declined considerably. The network’s weekly transaction fees have been progressively declining since the last week of May, and registered a negative growth rate of nearly 17% from the previous period.

BNB sees hope
The native token of the ecosystem, BNB, was trading the green at the time of publication, gaining 4.88% in the 24-hour period, according to Santiment. The beleaguered token was trying to gain some ground after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) legal salvo fired towards parent company Binance saw its value plummet 18%.
The coin’s weighted sentiment dipped in the negative territory, reflecting the pessimism of investors.
