This marked a remarkable 194.4% increase compared to the previous month and surpassed the leading platform Blur’s trading volume of $530.4 million during the same period.
Based on a recent analysis from CoinGecko, Magic Eden experienced growth in part due to the introduction of its Diamond rewards system and its ongoing collaboration with NFT powerhouse Yuga Labs.
