NFT Sales on the Rise as BAYC Collectible Reclaim Dominance

Just two weeks ago, Cryptopunks NFTs outperformed BAYC NFTs in terms of NFT floor values. However, over the past two days, Bored Ape floor values have taken control once more.

The floor value of the cheapest BAYC at the time of writing is 68.00 ETH ($82,700), while the floor value of Cryptopunks is 65.94 ETH ($80,200). That said, BAYC’s floor price has maintained its position above the floor price of Cryptopunks in the past two days.

Due to the $568.19 million in digital collectible sales last month, or around 22.37% more than the month before, non-fungible token sales have increased over the past 30 days. Reports show that the number of non-fungible token buyers last month decreased by 12.83%, while the total number of non-fungible token transactions decreased by 27.09% within the same period.

Ethereum-based NFTs accounted for $443.55 million of the $568.19 million in non-fungible token sales. Cryptoslam.io statistics show that sales of Ethereum-based NFTs have increased by 45.99% compared to last month.
