DappRadar, a leading analytics platform for decentralized application (dapp), published a report on 5 July. The report stated that despite the harsh crypto winter that has plagued the year so far, the performance of the NFTs and Blockchain gaming ecosystems in the last quarter provided a silver lining. Additionally, this performance would keep investors and users optimistic about the future direction of the dapp industry.
DappRadar, via its report, stated that despite the bloodbath that plagued the general cryptocurrency market and the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, the demand for NFTs between April and June registered an uptick. Additionally, DappRadar found that on a Year-on-Year (YoY) basis, the NFTs trading volume and sales count went up by 533% and 59%, respectively, in Q2 2022 as compared with the performance in Q2 2021.

To compensate for this decline, the NFTs market capitalization in terms of ETH has exceeded five million ETH. This represented an 8% drop since April but a 20% growth since May.
