After a brutal market winter, NFTs are showing serious signs of life, fueled by a broader crypto rally and a wave of investor interest.
On Sunday, blue-chip NFT collections saw a massive “sweep”—big volume buys in short bursts—as prices spiked and new holders piled in.

Market-Wide Momentum

"We Might Actually Be Back"
Speculation is swirling on X (formerly Twitter), with the NFT crowd buzzing:
“Saw someone buy a floor mutant and instantly become a full-time Web3 advisor… we might actually be back.” — @CirrusNFT “A lot of you are underestimating how much the 2021 class still loves NFTs.” — @TylerD “NFTs are moving like there are treasury vehicles on the horizon.” — @JasonYanowitz
And of course, Beeple marked the moment with a new artwork seemingly titled “Big Sweep.”
Experts Saw This Coming
Yehudah Petscher (CryptoSlam) predicted a tempered rebound earlier this year. Sara Gherghelas (DappRadar) flagged real-world asset NFTs as a likely catalyst. Snoop Dogg recently sold out nearly 1,000 NFTs in 30 minutes on Telegram, adding to the momentum.
