As of yesterday, the NFT marketplace giant was once again facilitating 60% of the Ethereum ecosystem's [NFT trading volume](https://dune.com/sealaunch/NFT) and 70% of its unique sales. To put this activity into perspective, OpenSea's volume levels are up nearly x6 since Jan. 2025! 

That's no small feat, with the surge driven by interest around the new [OS2 platform and the upcoming $SEA airdrop](https://x.com/dfinzer/status/1890039791808376874). It remains to be seen how OpenSea might sustain this renewed dominance *post-token. *Yet as they continue to expand to new chains [like Ronin](https://x.com/opensea/status/1899837203414397171), they've got their sights set on becoming a true multichain hub like never before. Let's see if they can keep the ship sailing smoothly in the meantime.
