In July 2023, approximately $1.73 million worth of non-fungible tokens were stolen, representing a 31% decrease from the previous month. Half of the stolen NFTs were quickly sold on various exchanges, with 67.3% of the transactions completed through Blur and 19.63% through OpenSea.

According to PeckShield, a blockchain security company, this downtrend in stolen NFT correlates with a general decline in NFT interest and market activity.

In total, NFT trading volumes declined more than 17% month-over-month in July. PeckShield also noted that half of all stolen NFTs were sold within 165 minutes, primarily on Blur, the leading Ethereum NFT marketplace by monthly volume.
