Solana NFTs did not perform as well before November 2023. Since July 2023, it has been difficult for NFTs to report a monthly sales volume higher than $40 million. After October 2023, though, things started to shift.
When Solana-based NFTs’ monthly sales reached over $82 million in November 2023, they began to show signs of life. This was a 192% increase from the previous month when their sales were just about $28 million.
December bull run

According to the currency statistics tracker CoinGecko, SOL reached a high of $121.45 on December 26, 2023, with a trading volume of $5.7 billion.
