OpenSea integrates with Solana

As per the data, in the last seven days, new 82k traders opted to use OpenSea for engaging and transacting NFTs. This immense user increase occurs due to recent increased NFT trading activity on Arbitrum, Base, and Blast blockchains, which are driving momentum on Opensea. Through its expansion efforts, Opensea has been supporting NFT collections running on top of Arbitrum, Base, and Blast blockchains.

Also, this tremendous growth in user base comes after OpenSea integrated Solana into its NFT trading platform. On April 21, 2025, the market rolled out SOL transactions on its newly upgraded OS2 platform. This integration comes as part of the platform’s broader strategy to enhance the marketplace’s operations, decrease trading charges, and improve customer satisfaction.

The OS2 upgrade included a simplified interface, enhanced search tools, and a greater transaction processing system. By launching Solana token trading on the NFT market, Opensea makes it easier for customers to sell, purchase, and move Solana-focused NFTs without hindrances.   

With the integration of Solana token trading into the OS2 platform, OpenSea is broadening its blockchain applications, providing users with more flexibility and options. This strategy is designed to improve the market’s competitiveness to fulfil the needs for the wider audience and enhance user experience.

Opensea reclaims its top spot

Despite challenges and competition within the NFT landscape, fresh reports show that Opensea has reclaimed its top position. The latest metrics (dated four days ago) from NFTScan indicate that Opensea currently controls more than 40% of the entire NFT trading volume in the past 30 days.

This is a key milestone for the platform as recouping over 40% market share is not an easy feat. It indicates that despite experiencing fierce competition from newer markets, OpenSea still dominates and has greater user trust than others.

The NFT trading volume sector is a very competitive space. For some time, newer markets like Blur made huge advances, especially among experienced traders, often overtaking OpenSea in terms of trading volume. Also, Magic Eden has been a major market, particularly within certain blockchain networks like Solana.

As per the latest data, OpenSea currently leads with over 40% market share. Blur comes second with 23% while Magic Eden takes the third place with 7.7%. According to the data, OpenSea overtook its major competitors with regards to NTF trading volume in the past 30 days.

One of the key catalysts for this success is continuous platform improvement. Especially, the recent integration with Solana (renowned for its more rapid speed and lower transaction costs) has made OpenSea an attractive marketplace for many NFT users.
