Polygon's non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystem has crossed the $2 billion mark in all-time sales volume, demonstrating remarkable resilience amid a broader market downturn. This achievement underscores the growing adoption of digital collectibles on the Polygon network, which has seen consistent monthly growth since November 2024.
CryptoSlam data reveals Polygon's NFT sales began at 【$16.3 million】 in November 2024, climbing monthly to reach 【$74.7 million】 by May 2025. The first half of 2025 showed particularly strong performance, with March recording 【$62.5 million】 in sales, followed by April at 【$71 million】. ——This upward trend defies the overall NFT market contraction—— during the same period.
The real-world asset (RWA) NFT platform Courtyard emerged as a key growth driver, accounting for most of Polygon's sales volume. With 【$277 million】 in all-time sales, Courtyard trails only DraftKings' 【$287 million】 in the network's collection rankings. Industry observers note the RWA sector's momentum could soon propel Courtyard to the top position.
Beyond sales figures, Polygon's NFT ecosystem demonstrates robust health through transaction metrics. Monthly NFT transactions exceeded 【800,000】 from March to May 2025, while unique buyers peaked at 【134,000】 in February. Notably, the average sales value jumped 【242%】 from $26 in late 2024 to nearly $89 by May 2025.
Polygon's success stands in stark contrast to the wider NFT market, which saw a five-month decline after December 2024's 【$900 million】 peak. While the overall market hit a low of 【$373 million】 in April, Polygon maintained consistent growth—a testament to its differentiated positioning in the RWA sector.
As the NFT market shows tentative signs of recovery—with May's overall volume rising 【15%】 to $430 million—Polygon's specialized focus on tokenized real-world assets positions it for continued growth. The network's ability to maintain strong user engagement during market downturns suggests lasting potential for its NFT infrastructure.
