NFT tracker DappRadar likewise shows an overall drop in traders and volume on OpenSea. Overall trading volume for the past 30 days has dropped by over 67% to $2.6 billion (by all means an incredible number that is more than some games companies earn every year) with traders also dropping some 23% to 489,796 users.

What's most interesting is that even during the "great NFT sell-off" there are still multiple millions of dollars and cryptocurrency changing hands-on a daily basis on OpenSea. On average, people are still spending thousands and hundreds of thousands worth of cryptocurrency on NFTs, but data suggests that this craze may be slowing down.
