Polygon NFT sales surpass $2 billion as RWA collections drive 2025 growth

Polygon-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have surpassed the $2 billion milestone in all-time sales volume, marking a significant achievement for digital collectibles on the network. 

The milestone comes amid consistent growth in monthly sales over the last several months, highlighting interest and adoption within Polygon’s NFT ecosystem. CryptoSlam data shows that since November 2024, monthly sales in Polygon have shown a consistent upward trend. 

The sales volume started from $16.3 million in November 2024 and steadily increased each month, reaching nearly $20 million in December, $25 million in January 2025 and $37 million in February. 

The momentum continued throughout the first half of 2025, with March showing $62.5 million in sales, April rising to $71 million, and May recording $74.7 million.

Polygon NFT sales surge driven by RWA marketplace

CryptoSlam data shows that Polygon’s consistent growth throughout 2025 is driven by sales in the real-world asset (RWA) NFT marketplace Courtyard. A majority of the NFT sales volumes within the network were from tokenized RWAs associated with Courtyard. 

The marketplace holds the record for the second-largest Polygon collection, next to DraftKings. Courtyard has an all-time sales count of $277 million, while DraftKings has $287 million. If the RWA sector continues to gain steam, the collection could take the top spot next month. 

The growth of Polygon’s NFT ecosystem isn’t limited to sales volumes. Transaction activity and user engagement have also surged throughout 2025. From March to May, monthly NFT transactions in the network passed 800,000. 

Unique buyers also remained strong throughout the year, peaking at 134,000 in February. In addition, the average sales value also increased to nearly $89 in May, up 242% from about $26 in November and December.
