2. Blur ($84.69 million)

Magic Eden has been the top NFT marketplace for six consecutive months, cementing its position as a key player in the NFT industry. Launched in late 2021 originally as a Solana-focused NFT marketplace, Magic Eden previously captured up to 31.7% market share as the second largest NFT marketplace in 2022. This made Magic Eden the closest competitor to OpenSea until Blur arrived. Alongside the declining popularity of Solana NFTs, Magic Eden’s market share then shrank to a range of 3.4% to 9.2% in 2023.

However, Magic Eden managed to capitalize on the emergence of Bitcoin Ordinals by being one of the first established NFT marketplaces to integrate the chain. As a result, Magic Eden saw monthly NFT trading volume more than double to reach $734.60 million in March 2024, and surpassed Blur to capture the largest market share of 38.5% for the first time.

Blur now ranks as the second most popular NFT marketplace, after its market share fell from 35.4% at the start of the year, to 25.4% last month. Over the same period, monthly NFT trading volume on Blur has steadily dropped from $499.95 million to $84.69 million.

The third largest NFT marketplace is OpenSea, which has a 19.9% market share at a monthly trading volume of $66.52 million last month. In fact, OpenSea has doubled its market share from the 9.9% it held at the start of the year, overtaking OKX and Tensor in April to move up the ranks. That said, this recovery is still nowhere near OpenSea’s former monopoly in NFT trading.

In total, the top 3 NFT marketplaces of Magic Eden, Blur and OpenSea account for a majority of NFT trading volume with a combined 82.0% market share.

Among the other popular NFT marketplaces, only the CryptoPunks marketplace and X2Y2 have recorded an increase in market share since the start of the year. Specifically, the CryptoPunks marketplace increased its market share from 2.4% to 5.6% and ranks as the fifth largest NFT marketplace, while X2Y2 saw a smaller increase from 0.7% to 1.2%.

In contrast, the OKX NFT marketplace lost the most market share from 18.4% to 2.4% during the same period. This comes after OKX experienced a surge in NFT trading volume at the end of 2023 and briefly outperformed Blur with a 38.4% market share in December.
