The non-fungible token (NFT) market continues to adjust as early September saw a 7.69% dip in sales, following a lackluster August.

Over the past seven days, total NFT sales reached $82.31 million, a notable decrease, reflecting ongoing adjustments in the digital collectibles space.

The number of transactions also saw a significant drop, with just over 1 million transactions recorded—a 36.93% decline from the previous week, according to data from cryptoslam.io.

Ethereum-based (CRYPTO:ETH) NFTs maintained their lead with $30.92 million in sales, a slight 0.92% decrease compared to the previous week.

Solana (CRYPTO:SOL), however, faced a more substantial decline, with sales dropping by 25.16% to $14.23 million.

Bitcoin-based (CRYPTO:BTC) NFTs, which ranked third, saw sales fall by 20.18%, totaling $10.9 million.

The Cryptopunks collection remained the top performer among NFTs this week, generating $4.92 million in sales, though this was down 9.24% from the previous week.

Immutable (CRYPTO:IMX) X's Guild of Guardians (CRYPTO:GOG) followed with $3.2 million in sales, while BNB's (CRYPTO:BNB) Luxemarathoner collection made a notable jump to third place with $2.6 million in sales, marking an astonishing 4,441.73% increase.

One of the highest-valued NFT sales of the week came from Cryptopunk #6,915, which sold for $1.46 million just two days ago.

Arbitrum’s (CRYPTO:ARB) GETH Locked Deposit claimed the second spot, selling for $419,000 three days ago.

Meanwhile, a Bitcoin-based Ordinal Maxi Biz NFT rounded out the top three, fetching over $80,000.

The NFT market's recent performance illustrates a period of adjustment, where even prominent collections experience mixed outcomes.

While some collections, like Cryptopunks and Guild of Guardians, maintained relatively strong sales, others faced more substantial setbacks, highlighting the volatility and evolving nature of the digital asset market.

As the NFT landscape continues to develop, these fluctuations may indicate broader shifts in collector and investor behavior.

The strong performance of certain collections amidst a generally declining market suggests a continued, albeit cautious, interest in NFTs.

Market participants appear to be navigating these changing conditions carefully, balancing optimism with awareness of the market's inherent volatility.
