"NFTs are so back."...

A sentence that you see all around the TL.

They never died; they started declining in demand due to low-tier projects launching in the past few months

From $679M in volume in Jan down to $388M in June 

• Q1 2025 total: $1.59B → avg ~$530M/month  
• Q2 2025 total: $1.24B → avg ~$413M/month

Only a handful of blue-chip NFTs held a decent amount of volume 

• PudgyPenguins is one of these projects; dominating with $125M in volume in Q1
• Courtyard dominated through Q2 with an average of $63M 

Even after PudgyPenguins launched its token, they continue to ship, communicate, and stay active for the sake of their holders 

NFTs never left.
