NFT User Activity Reaches 3.85 Million Daily Wallets
NFTs showed significant growth in July 2025, with activity surpassing DeFi. NFT DApps captured 3.85 million daily active wallets, marking a notable milestone in the sector.
DeFi also showed expansion, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) reaching $270 billion. This was largely driven by the increasing interest in tokenized stocks, pointing to dynamic shifts in financial markets.
NFTs Outpace DeFi Amid Market Dynamics Shift
NFT activity surpassed DeFi in daily unique users, reshaping market dynamics. This indicates a shift in user preference towards NFT DApps over traditional DeFi platforms.
This increase in activity highlights the financial sector’s interest in NFT transactions, with key platforms like Blur experiencing increased engagement and trading volume. Blur (@blur_io) on Twitter remarked that, “July was historic—80% share of daily NFT volume. Next: even more user-centric upgrades.”
Consistent NFT Activity Surpassing DeFi Since 2021
While NFTs previously peaked in user activity, as seen with Bored Ape Yacht Club in 2021, the July 2025 figures mark a new consistency in surpassing DeFi even amid its growth.
Experts suggest this trend reflects a long-term shift, with NFTs maintaining traction against DeFi, possibly influenced by enhanced marketplace features and increasing platform developments. Devin Finzer, CEO of OpenSea, expressed on CryptoRank, “Thrilled to see record active traders on OpenSea and across NFT DApps. Builder momentum is back and stronger than ever.”
