NFT Madness: Doodles Oust Penguins in $152.9M Frenzy!

Ah, mes amis! The NFT market, that whimsical realm of digital absurdity, has defied the crypto gods once more! 🎭 Despite Bitcoin’s stumble to $96,000 and Ethereum’s pitiful struggle to surpass $2,700 (hovering pathetically at $2,600), the NFT circus marches on!

As the great CoinMarketCap decrees, the global crypto market cap has shrunk to a mere $3.18 trillion from last week’s $3.24 trillion. Quelle horreur! Yet, the NFT market, ever the contrarian, has flourished like a well-watered tulip in spring. 🌷

Behold, the latest CryptoSlam data reveals a 19.60% surge in NFT sales volume, reaching a staggering $152.9 million. The market, it seems, is alive with activity, as if the entire world has suddenly decided to trade digital doodles for fortunes. 🖼️💰

Let us examine the weekly spectacle:

  • NFT sales volume soared to $152.9 million from $112.7 million
  • NFT buyers multiplied by 64.53% to 335,666
  • NFT sellers increased by 49.30% to 237,123
  • NFT transactions climbed 4.73% to 1,574,998

Ethereum NFT sales leap like a gazelle

Ethereum (ETH) NFT sales, in a display of acrobatic prowess, jumped 42.71% to $79.1 million. Buyers, too, rose by 36.09% to 41,619. Wash trading, that sneaky little devil, increased by 44.66% to $37.5 million. 🕵️‍♂️

Bitcoin (BTC), ever the stoic, claimed second place with $20.6 million despite a 26.59% drop. Yet, buyer numbers rose by 40.65% to 23,097. A paradox, non? 🤔

Mythos Chain, the dark horse, held third with $15.4 million, up 4.25%. Solana (SOL) followed with $10.9 million, rising 13.86%, while Polygon (POL) rounded out the top five with $9.2 million, growing 23.35%. 🏇

Doodles, the cheeky upstart, claimed second place with $9.9 million, rising 32.80%. Pudgy Penguins, once the darling of the NFT world, slipped to third with $8.8 million, though it bounced back with an 83.01% increase. Mon dieu, the drama! 🐧🎨

Courtyard held fourth with $8.2 million, up 23.52%, while LilPudgys entered the top five with $6.3 million, posting a 133.39% surge. A meteoric rise, indeed! 🚀
