Solana has recently surpassed total NFT sales volume on its blockchain platform. The total sales has exceeded $2 billion as of the time of writing.

According to cryptocurrency researchers, Solana has recorded a total volume of around $2.35 billion as of yesterday. This is treated as an improvement to the Solana blockchain after its native token, SOL, lost a large amount of value of about $14 billion in market capitalization in the month of May.

The Solana Blockchain is now know to have made more NFT volume sales than Flow with over 1 billion volume sales, Polygon with over $570 millon sales, WAX with over $433 million sales, Avalanche with $278 million sales and other blockchains below these amounts.

At the beginning of year, Solana reached its highest NFT monthly volume sale of $298.69 million. Although the Solana blockchain was noticed during the first and last days of May due to a bug and the surge of transactions, it has also been gaining massively in terms of NFTs.
