According to data from CryptoSlam captured on Oct. 17, NFT sales reached $47,138,650 in its rolling seven-day dashboard, while seller addresses rose 192.38% to 89,117.
The tracker’s transaction count moved in the opposite direction, falling to 507,562 despite the rise in sales value and participating addresses. Buyer and seller figures count wallet addresses, which do not necessarily represent separate individuals.
Based on the dashboard’s rounded growth rate, the preceding seven-day sales total was approximately $37.84 million. The latest figure was roughly $9.30 million higher, calculated by dividing current sales by 1.2457 and subtracting the result from the current total.
The rolling comparison differs from the snapshot published a week earlier, when crypto.news recorded weekly sales of $39.85m. The Oct. 10 report listed 778,055 transactions and 30,332 buyer addresses at its reporting cutoff.
Separately, CoinGecko listed Bitcoin near $81,523 and Ethereum around $2,429 during checks on Oct. 17.

Those spot readings use a different timeframe from the seven-day NFT totals.
