While the overall nonfungible token (NFT) space saw a 54% drop in sales in May, digital collectibles on Bitcoin reached a new milestone.&nbsp;
On June 4, NFT data tracker CryptoSlam <a href="https://www.cryptoslam.io/blockchains/bitcoin?headerPeriod=all&amp;tab=Sales+Volume" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">showed</a> that NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain reached a total all-time sales volume of over $4 billion. The data combined the NFT sales, which were $3.97 billion, and the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-losses-on-tax-returns-in-the-us-uk-canada">wash sales</a>, which were $82 million. 
In the last 30 days, Bitcoin-based NFTs recorded a sales volume of $171 million, taking the top spot in terms of sales volume by blockchain. The network was followed by Ethereum, which had $159 million and Solana, which recorded $90 million in the past month.

Even though Bitcoin-based NFTs are leading the charts in 30-day volumes, the network is only the fourth-largest blockchain in sales. It follows the Ronin blockchain, which holds the top three spot with $4.2 billion in all-time sales.
