Ozzy’s Death Sparks Wild NFT Surge: Fans Traded Bats and Bitcoins in a Panic 🦇💥

by

So, Ozzy Osbourne—your friendly neighborhood prince of darkness—kicked the bucket at a sprightly 76 on a Tuesday. And wouldn’t you know it, the internet decided to throw a digital tantrum, with fans rushing to snatch up pieces of his legacy in the form of CryptoBatz NFTs. Because, apparently, even in death, he’s still bitting into our wallets. 🦇💸

Within a few hours of the news breaking—because who doesn’t surf the web for NFT chaos during grief—his CryptoBatz floor price shot up by more than 400%, from a measly 0.02 ETH to a pipe dream-worthy 0.08 ETH. That’s a quick swing from pocket change to “wait, how much?” according to OpenSea snooping. 📈

At those market prices, a CryptoBatz NFT was valued at around $295 at 8 PM UTC, just about the time everyone decided, “Yep, I need a digital bat in my life.” CoinGecko confirms this goofy surge. 💻💀

Believe it or not, Osbourne made his NFT debut four years ago with his CryptoBatz collection—9,666 creepy, one-of-a-kind digital bats. Because nothing screams “rock legend” like a pixelated vampire bat who probably has more than a few bats in his belfry. December 2021 was his moment of glory.

Trading volume: the crypto equivalent of a rock concert mosh pit—100,000% more chaos

Adding insult to injury or maybe just adding noise, the trading frenzy has gone totally batty. According to DappRadar, CryptoBatz trading volume exploded by an absurd 100,000%, hitting a cool $281,200 in a single day. Near doubling the fun, the 24-hour hustle accounted for nearly 80% of the total market cap—about $355,000—implying everyone’s suddenly obsessed with digital undead. 💥

There were roughly 402 sellers and 327 buyers in their digital bat cave. Considering there are 9,666 CryptoBatz in existence, that’s basically every bat wanting a moment in the sun—or at least a few minutes of digital fame.

Compared to launch: Not quite the batman of peak prices

The latest excitement is like a rally after a bad hangover—still fun but far from the glory days of January 2022 when CryptoBatz hit an all-time high of over 5 ETH. Back then, Bat-enthusiasts were probably dreaming of owning a piece of bat memorabilia, but now they’re just happy with a pixel for a dollar. 🦇💸

The priciest CryptoBatz going at this moment is the Megadragon bat—priced at a jaw-dropping 99 ETH—because nothing says “I love you” like an enchanted digital night creature. The cheapest? CryptoBat #5892, which is just about 0.4 ETH, so even a broke fan can get in on this batty action.

While it’s not quite the moonshot of 2022, this somewhat-still-sizzling spike hints maybe the NFT market isn’t entirely dead—just taking a nap or perhaps avoiding fans with pitchforks. Industry insiders, as usual, are whispering about a potential comeback, because why not keep the circus going?

Oh, and in other news, Spotify’s been in a bit of trouble after accusations from 404 Media—they say the platform’s been sneaking AI-created songs under the names of dead legends without so much as a “by your leave.” Now that’s a remix nobody asked for.
