Polygon-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have surpassed the $2 billion milestone in all-time sales volume, marking a significant achievement for digital collectibles on the network.
The milestone comes amid consistent growth in monthly sales over the last several months, highlighting interest and adoption within Polygon’s NFT ecosystem. CryptoSlam data shows that since November 2024, monthly sales in Polygon have been on an upward trend.
The sales volume started from $16.3 million in November 2024 and increased each month, reaching nearly $20 million in December, $25 million in January 2025 and $37 million in February.
The momentum has continued throughout the first half of 2025, with March showing $62.5 million in sales, April rising to $71 million and May reaching $74.7 million.

Polygon NFT sales surge driven by RWA marketplace
CryptoSlam data shows Polygon’s consistent growth throughout 2025 has been driven by sales in the real-world asset (RWA) NFT marketplace Courtyard. A majority of the NFT sales volumes within the network were from tokenized RWAs associated with Courtyard.
The marketplace holds the record for the second-largest Polygon collection, next to DraftKings. Courtyard has an all-time sales count of $277 million, while DraftKings has $287 million. If the RWA sector continues to gain steam, the collection could take the top spot next month.
The growth of Polygon’s NFT ecosystem isn’t limited to sales volumes. Transaction activity and user engagement have also surged throughout 2025. From March to May, monthly NFT transactions in the network passed 800,000.
Unique buyers have also remained strong throughout the year, peaking at 134,000 in February. In addition, the average sales value increased to nearly $89 in May, up 242% from about $26 in November and December.

Polygon defies broader NFT market downturn
Polygon NFTs’ growth has defied a broader market trend among digital collectibles. Since volumes peaked at $900 million in December 2024, monthly NFT sales went on a five-month decline, hitting their lowest point in April, when NFTs had an overall volume of $373 million.
The downward trend was finally broken in May when NFT monthly sales rose to $430 million, a 15% uptick month-on-month. The number of users buying NFTs also increased to over 900,000 in May, up 50% from April.
