Ethereum regains NFT sales crown as ETH eyes $2,500

• Ethereum leads in NFT sales trade volume. 
• ETH price closes in on $2,500.

Bitcoin [BTC] made a significant entry into the NFT scene, causing a shakeup in the rankings and displacing Ethereum [ETH] as the dominant NFT network. However, new data indicates that Ethereum has reclaimed the top spot, particularly in the last 30 days.

Ethereum tops NFT sales volume ranking

Coin98 Analytics data showed that Ethereum has reasserted its dominance in the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) sales volume rankings. The analysis indicates that the sales volume on the network reached $356 million in January.

Bitcoin, with a sales volume of $335 million, was the only other network in the same volume bracket. This suggests an ongoing competition between the two networks, with Bitcoin recently joining the NFT sales volume race.
