Doodles saw a tumble in sales volume due to decreased investor interest in non-fungible tokens (NFT) in the sixth month of the year.
Doodles is among the top 15 digital collectible collections of all time by sales volume with a combined sales volume of around $511.85 million.
Per Be[In]Crypto research, Doodles had a sales volume of approximately $15.39 million in June 2022.
While this value seems low due to the numerous milestones reached by the digital collectible, Doodles surpassed Axie Infinity, Bored Ape Kernel Club, the Sandbox, and Meebits in monthly sales within the same time frame.
However, the NFT’s sales were under that of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), CryptoPunks, and Otherside. With that said, Doodles’ latest sales volume was an 80% dive from May’s. In May, Doodles’ sales were in the region of $77.63 million.
