Courtyard leads weekly NFT sales despite volume drop

CryptoSlam, an analytics platform that tracks non-fungible tokens, released data on the top NFT collections by sales volume. The report gives users, investors, and traders a look at which projects are active and where money might be moving. Like cryptocurrencies, NFTs carry their own risks and rewards, so the list helps people see which collections have drawn the most user interest and trust.

This week, total NFT sales volume fell 13.53%, from $69.65 million last week to $60.227 million. However, the number of NFT buyers jumped 235.23%, reaching 91,290. That rise in buyers, even as total sales dropped, suggests more people are entering the market, perhaps at lower price points.

Top collections by sales

For the week ending May 17, 2026, Courtyard came out on top. It recorded $7.391 million in sales on the Polygon blockchain, leading all global NFT collections.

In second place was ATMC BRC-20 NFTs, with $4.008 million in sales. It had 3,283 transactions and 1,286 buyers over the week. This collection runs on the Bitcoin blockchain, and its numbers show continued activity there.

Third was X@AGI BRC-20 NFTs, also on Bitcoin. It posted $3.922 million in sales, with just 41 transactions, 13 buyers, and 15 sellers. The high sales relative to transaction count hints at larger individual purchases.

CryptoPunks, on Ethereum, ranked fourth with $3.592 million in weekly sales. It had 44 transactions, 29 buyers, and 35 sellers, reflecting steady trading among collectors.

Fifth was VRQQ BRC-20 NFTs, another Bitcoin-based collection. It brought in $3.304 million, with 2,844 transactions, 1,173 buyers, and 306 sellers. This project shows more frequent trading activity compared to others on the list.

What this means for investors

The data shows the NFT market is still in motion, with different projects competing for attention. Collections are spread across blockchains like Polygon, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. For investors and collectors, the top five projects offer a snapshot of where activity is currently concentrated.

Whether you are new to NFTs or have been around for a while, these collections represent places where people are buying and selling digital assets. The numbers from CryptoSlam can help you decide where to look next, but as always, do your own research before putting money in. The market changes quickly, and what looks strong one week might shift the next.
