Can AVAX see some recovery?

One of the ways that Avalanche could regain interest from the crypto community could be through its efforts on the NFT front. With the launch new and upcoming projects such as Fableborne and Pulsar on the platform, the NFT market could contribute towards the growth of AVAX.

Furthermore, a reason why Avalanche investors could be optimistic would be the uptick observed in AVAX’s daily active NFT users. However, despite the spike in daily active users, there are other metrics that should be considered here as well.

Despite the uptick in daily active users, the total volume of blue chip AVAX NFT collections continued to decline. As seen below, the volume of the top 5 NFT collections on the network continued to decline through September. Coupled with this development, the number of NFT’s being minted also witnessed a decline.
