The NFT market experienced a significant resurgence in July 2025, with trading volume reaching $530 million, a 96% increase from June [1]. The average NFT sale price more than doubled, rising from $52 to $105. Meanwhile, DeFi saw impressive growth, with the total value of assets locked (TVL) surging by over 30% to $259 billion. Tokenized stocks also gained traction, with wallet interactions increasing by 220%.NFT Market Resurgence
Non-fungible token (NFT) sales saw an increase in July, jumping 50.14% higher than sales recorded in June. Despite the rise, NFT sales in July 2025 were still 35.02% lower than the numbers recorded at the end of 2024 [1]. Ethereum led all blockchains in NFT sales volume, recording $296.5 million—a 69.63% increase from the previous period. Much of that was driven by NFT collections such as Cryptopunks and Pudgy Penguins, which saw substantial increases in sales [1].
DeFi Growth
The DeFi sector also showed robust growth. The total value of assets locked (TVL) surged by over 30% to $259 billion. This growth is attributed to the increasing adoption of DeFi protocols and the integration of new financial services [1].
Tokenized Stocks Gain Traction
Tokenized stocks gained significant traction, with wallet interactions increasing by 220%. This growth is driven by the increasing interest in fractional ownership and the potential for higher liquidity in tokenized assets [1].
Conclusion
The resurgence of the NFT market and the impressive growth in the DeFi sector indicate a positive trend in the crypto space. While the NFT market is still recovering from its peak in 2021, the recent increase in trading volume and average sale price shows signs of a potential rebound. Similarly, the growth in DeFi TVL and the increasing adoption of tokenized stocks suggest a bright future for these sectors.
