Pudgy Penguins Waddle Their Way to Success Amidst NFT Sales Slump
The NFT Market: A Rough Patch
So, it’s official: the NFT market is experiencing a bit of a chill, and the numbers don’t lie. We’re looking at a whopping 33.56% drop in sales volume, plummeting to $169.7 million from last week’s high of $256.9 million. Ouch! It seems like everyone and their grandma decided to take a break from buying those funky digital penguins.
The Numbers Game
And if you think that’s bad, check this out: NFT buyers have taken a nosedive with a jaw-dropping 75.68% decrease, now down to about 168,946. Sellers? They’re not doing much better either, falling by 73.94% to rest at 152,283. It’s like a party where most of the guests just left!
Bitcoin and Ethereum: A Tiny Trudge Backward
Meanwhile, Bitcoin, our beloved crypto king, has tumbled down to the $112,000 mark after its little joyride last week. Ethereum, not wanting to stand out, followed suit, cooling off to $3,700. The entire crypto landscape took a hit, dropping from $4.2 trillion to a meager $3.78 trillion. Talk about a roller coaster!
Who’s Still Funky?

They’ve been busy, racking up over 570,000 transactions. Meanwhile, Pudgy Penguins waddled their way into the sixth spot with $6.63 million in sales, enjoying a 16.98% boost from last week. No one puts the pudgy penguins in a corner!
