In 2025, Ethereum's NFT trading volume is expected to significantly boost on-chain activity. Increased NFT minting, transfers, and sales will drive higher transaction frequency and Gas consumption. The Pectra upgrade, enhancing Layer 2 scalability, will lower costs, encouraging more NFT transactions and mainnet interactions. AI agents and DeFi-NFT integrations may further amplify activity, with 90% of transactions potentially AI-driven by year-end. However, competition from Solana and Base, plus potential mainnet congestion, could limit growth. Regulatory clarity and market recovery are likely to support a surge in NFT trading, reinforcing Ethereum’s dominance and increasing on-chain engagement.
