NFT is back? Market data "returns to 2022", OpenSea integrates OS2, games drive the craze.
Ethereum NFT daily traders approached 40,000, hitting a new high in nearly three years; OpenSea OS2 launch and game integration drive the market out of the doldrums (Synopsis: Trump dinner NFT completed airdrop, diamond hand NFT floor price exceeded $16,000, but $TRUMP coin price is still sluggish) (Background supplement: OpenSea launches new platform "OS2": provide NFT+ cryptocurrency trading, $SEA coin reciprocal) Ethereum NFT Day traders rushed to 39,640 this week, approaching the June 2022 high of 41,817, It shows that the market, which has been dormant for nearly three years, is picking up. According to The Block data, the surge in transactions coincided with the launch of OpenSea's OS2 system, and the platform's market share quickly rose to 71.5%. Traders return to the market, data highlights In May 2025, OpenSea monthly active users jumped to 467,322, up 38% from April, and the number of independent address buyers also increased by 50% to 137,000. ETH is now trading at $2,735, doubling from a low of $1,200 at the end of 2022, providing leverage for high-priced NFTs to flow again. Compared to the trough, Ethereum NFT Day traders fell to 12,000 at one point in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the Bored Ape Yacht Club floor price slipped from 152 ETH to 48 ETH. BAYC, which pop singer Justin Bieber bought for $1.31 million, is now worth just $59,090, down more than 95%, becoming a classic case of a market bubble bursting. OS2 and "Voyages" reward promotion interaction OpenSea officially ended OS2 beta in May, adding 19 chain support, native token exchange and cross-chain pending orders. In conjunction with the "Voyages" campaign, users can earn XP for completing tasks, which is widely interpreted by the market as the basis for the airdrop of $SEA tokens in the future. Platform data shows that within two weeks of launch, the number of participating wallets exceeded 250,000, driving the daily average of NFT transactions on the Ethereum chain to 3,100. "We're seeing a shift in the market from pure speculation to use value," OpenSea's chief executive said. Outside of trading platforms, the gaming space is injecting long-term demand into NFTs. Orange Cap Games acquires Moonbirds IP and plans to import characters into Vibes TCG. Mythical Games announced that FIFA Rivals will import Adidas digital assets, replicating the success of NFL Rivals. In the first quarter of 2025, the total amount of NFT transactions decreased by 24% year-on-year, but the number of transactions decreased by only 10%, highlighting the decrease in high-priced speculation and the persistence of user stickiness. Challenges remain, time in exchange for growth Despite the rebound in activity, NFT lending volume plummeted 97% from the peak in 2022, indicating that some financial applications are still silent, and many analysts expect that NFTs may return to the transaction scale in 2021 until 2026, in conjunction with the next round of Bitcoin bull market. In the short term, AI-generated series, DeFi integration, and RWA tokenization are seen as potential growth engines. Although the rebound of trader data did not drive the price to rise immediately, it injected much-needed liquidity into the NFT ecosystem, and in general, NFT is moving towards practical and functional market recovery, and OpenSea's platform innovation and game scene deepening are gradually pushing NFT from speculative targets to the underlying structure of the digital economy. Whether the past wave of stickers can make a comeback is still waiting for the test of time. Related reports Liu Genghong broke out old debts to Taiwan!
