NFTs Soar to New Heights—Just Not with Actual People! 😂🎨

by

Ah, the curious case of NFTs, those non-fungible tokens that somehow managed to glow and glitter in another robust week, flaunting a remarkable 20.67% ascension in sales to a staggering $122.6 million. All of this, mind you, as the crowd—the valiant buyers and sellers—fled in droves, their participation collapsing faster than a soufflé in an unkind observation. An ego-deflating 80% decline, if I may indulge in a bit of mathematical misery! 😅

Ethereum resumed its enthronement upon the blockchain pedestal, raking in an impressive $50 million in sales, while Bitcoin, that delightful digital rogue, leapt from a mediocre sixth to the glory of second place amid a crypto carnival of highs. With BTC basking in the luminous glow of a new all-time peak at $117,000 and ETH experiencing a 17% jig in the last seven days, one might say the cryptosphere is still dancing—a solitary waltz, perhaps. 💃🕺

Yet, amidst this sparkling extravagance, the crux of the conundrum remains: alas, fewer hands are grasping these golden delights as collections like f(x) wstETH and those adorable Pudgy Penguins are propelled upwards—paradoxical indeed, driven not by the merriment of many but by the shrewd whispers of institutional buyers and extravagant trades, including those tantalizing multi-six-figure Autoglyph sales. The result? Soaring valuations juxtaposed against a dwindling community. Аwink at the irony, if you please! 😉

Ethereum NFTs Hold the Crown Again

According to the ever-astute sages at CryptoSlam, the NFT realm finds itself shrunken, with buyers nosediving 89.08% to a paltry 88,157—what a club! The sellers, too, took a hit, dwindling by 82.62% to 56,817. A bit like a party where the balloons are still floating but the guests are nowhere to be found.

Despite this delectable drama, NFT transactions haven’t completely plummeted, barely expanding by 1.63% to 1,357,999. So, it’s like attending a wedding where you end up with cake and no one to share it with! 🎂

Ethereum, clad in its regal mantle, has ascended once more with $50 million in sales—a dazzling 133.36% pirouette from the week before. Meanwhile, its wash trading has done a little jig too, doubling and rising 101.59% to reach $3.9 million. Nothing like playing with virtual art to keep the spirits high! 🎉

In a moment of sheer delight, Bitcoin basked in a 50.12% surge, now clutching the second spot with $15.5 million—a veritable comeback story! From sixth place to limelight; take a bow! 👏

But oh dear, Polygon (POL) has slumped to third, clutching $14.6 million—a rather sad 41.86% decline—while its wash trading decided to pull a rapid 59.20% face-lift to crinkle up $914,413. My, oh my!

Mythos Chain holds the fourth position with $14 million while BNB Chain (BNB) drags its feet in fifth with $7.8 million—a 17.74% downward spiral. Immutable (IMX), the poor soul, tumbles dramatically to the sixth spot with $6.3 million, sustaining an aching 28.74% decline.

Buyer woes plague all blockchains. Ethereum is leading this woes parade down by 86.74%, followed closely by a pouting Polygon at 88.87% and that mischievous Bitcoin at 80.22%. The markets are as lively as a cemetery at midnight! 🌑

The dazzling f(x) wstETH has pirated the top collection spot with a jaw-dropping $15.8 million in sales—a dizzying 2,056.28% surge. One must wonder, who needs crowds when you have 26 buyers and a singular seller, reaping whirlwind gains!

The Courtyard on Polygon finds its ego a tad bruised, slipping to second place with $12.3 million—down 35.06%. The collection saw substantial buyer and seller reductions—oh dear, 32.75% and 14.59%, respectively. Did someone forget to send out the invitations? 📬

DMarket holds on to third place with a modest $8.9 million, enduring a 3% decrease. Meanwhile, those audacious BRC-20 NFTs of Bitcoin climbed to fourth with $4.3 million, dazzling us with a 74.64% hike.

Pudgy Penguins waddled into the top five with $3.2 million, making quite the splash with a 130.49% leap. Their transactions have doubled dramatically, attributed to rich growth in buyers (146.43%) and sellers (107.89%)—a lively poultry affair! 🐧

But where has the Guild of Guardians Heroes vanished to? Once a conqueror of the charts, now a mere ghost in the collection halls—quite the disappearing act! 🎭

And let us not forget to muse upon the notable high-value sales of this week:

  • Autoglyphs #195 sold for 95 ETH ($283,623)
  • Otherdeed Expanded #7 sold for 100 WETH ($278,128)
