This surge is attributed to Magic Eden's strategic expansion into Bitcoin Ordinals and its robust rewards programs, attracting traders and collectors alike. The platform's integration of Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/podcasts\/bioniq-ceo-envisages-a-programmable-future-for-bitcoin-with-ordinals-and-new-protocols\/\">Ordinals<\/a> trading, which now constitutes 70% of its total volume, emphasizes the growing popularity of this new asset class within the NFT space.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1088px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dappradar.com\/blog\/static\/6f72228b2c602fc2dbcf3d15ae131ded\/5dc67\/dappradar.com-magic-eden-overtakes-blur-as-top-nft-marketplace-image-8.png\" alt=\"Top 5 NFT marketplaces (DappRadar)\" width=\"1088\" height=\"612\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Top 5 NFT marketplaces (DappRadar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Magic Eden's rise is also supported by its comprehensive platform features, which include low transaction fees and a user-friendly interface that supports multiple blockchains.

Total trading volume decreased to $1.35 billion in April, a 13% drop from the previous month, while sales have increased by 20%. This trend can be attributed to several factors, including the rising popularity of Runestone, a Bitcoin Ordinals inscription that has surpassed Bored Ape Yacht Club as the NFT collection with the highest trading volume.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Bitcoin collections have seen a 32% increase in trading volume, reaching $675 million, positioning <a href=\"\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a> as the blockchain with the highest trading volume, followed by Ethereum.
