NFT sales drop 28% to $98m, Bored Ape Yacht Club sales surge 100%

by

Well, folks, it looks like NFT sales have decided to take a little nap. According to CryptoSlam (yes, that’s a real thing), NFT sales took a nosedive of 28.42%, plummeting to a modest $98.18 million. If that doesn’t scream “we need a vacation,” I don’t know what does. 😬

But wait-here comes the plot twist! While sales were crashing faster than a crypto investor’s hopes and dreams, market participation has been doing squats. NFT buyers are up by a juicy 22.86%, now sitting at 626,341, and sellers have also joined the fun, rising 13.54% to 469,316. Maybe they just love a good rollercoaster ride? 🤷‍♀️

And just to keep things spicy, NFT transactions have fallen by a mere 5.08%, landing at 1,458,311. Meanwhile, the global crypto market cap is slouching down a bit, standing at $3.71 trillion (down from $3.75 trillion last week). Let’s just say it’s a little bit like a hangover after a crypto party. 🍻

  • NFT sales fell 28% to $98.18M, but hey, buyers surged 22.86% to 626,341. Talk about resilience! 💪
  • Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) sales exploded by 108%, while DMarket and DX Terminal… not so much. 🧐
  • Ethereum is still king, with $41.72M in NFT sales, up nearly 20% from last week. Ethereum: 1, everyone else: 0. 👑

DMarket’s decline, BAYC’s comeback

Now, let’s talk DMarket. It’s on the Mythos blockchain, and it’s down a whopping 34.09% from last week’s $9.05 million, leaving us all wondering what happened. Still, DMarket holds its first-place crown with $5.92 million in sales. It’s like the tortoise of the NFT world-slow, but steady? 🐢

DX Terminal on Base is hanging in there at second place with $5.62 million, but it’s not looking as bright as it did last week. It’s down 18.23% from $7.56 million. That’s a bit of a oof moment. 😬

And then, BAM! Enter Bored Ape Yacht Club, smashing through the rankings like it’s an NFT Avengers team-up. They surged by 108.47%, landing in third place with $5.22 million in sales. Who knew apes had such hustle? 🐒💥

Meanwhile, Pudgy Penguins waddled into fourth with $4.85 million, up 21.07% from last week’s $3.80 million. Keep waddling, guys, you’re doing great! 🐧

And Guild of Guardians Heroes on Immutable-Zk rounded out the top five, with $3.88 million, up 11.11% from last week’s $3.45 million. Go team, go! 🙌

CryptoPunks made a grand entrance into the top six, soaring 49.48% to $3.79 million. It’s official-these Punks are pretty punk rock. 🧑‍🎤

Ethereum extends lead

Ethereum is flexing its muscles with $41.72 million in NFT sales, a 19.72% increase from last week’s $35.04 million. Basically, Ethereum is just out here saying, “I’m still the boss, okay?” 💪

In case you’re wondering, Ethereum also saw $3.59 million in wash trading, because of course it did. That brings their total to $45.31 million. Because who doesn’t love a little wash trading to spice up the week? 🧼

Bitcoin is still hanging in there in second place with $11.55 million, but it’s down 11.47% from last week’s $13.17 million. We all love an underdog story… maybe next week, BTC? 🤞

Base is chilling in third place with $10.36 million, up 7.34% from last week’s $10.19 million. It’s like that student who never studies but still somehow does fine. 😎

Solana has also been doing some serious legwork, surging 30.28% to $6.16 million. We see you, Solana. Keep hustling! 🚀

Mythos Chain, on the other hand, dropped to sixth place at $6.09 million, down 33.27% from last week’s $9.27 million. Oof, tough week, Mythos. Maybe next time? 😅

BNB Chain is barely hanging on to seventh place with $5.25 million, down 3.76%. It’s like that one friend who always shows up late to the party. 🤷‍♂️
