🐧 Pudgy Penguins to overtake Bored Ape Yacht Club soon

gm Web3 explorers,

In today's newsletter we take a look at the NFT market, because despite the lack of million dollar NFT sales... something is happening here. The number of traders is moving up, the trading volume is going up, and new leaders are forming.

Let's goooo! 📡

🐧 Pudgy Penguins will soon overtake BAYC

In the past 7 days, Pudgy Penguins has seen $20.1 million in trading volume. That's an increase of 429%. This pushed the floor price to $23,230, and the market cap of the collection to $206.55 million, up 4.7%. The most expensive Pudgy sold this week for $202,450, or 65 ETH.

During the same period BAYC only saw a 1.6% increase in market cap, recorded $258 million. At this pace, Pudgy Penguins will soon be the second most valuable NFT project on the market, behind CryptoPunks ($463 million).

Did you know that there's a wide variety of Pudgy Penguins branded gaming products coming to the market? This ranges from mobile apps to claw machines.

OpenSea's incoming volume up 148% this week

The renewed success of NFTs isn't visible with every collection, but NFT marketplaces do unveil the trend. OpenSea has seen $41 million flowing into the platform, which is an increase of 148% from the week before. Moreover, this came from 215,440 unique wallets, an increase of 34%.

Even when we only look at the NFT trading volumes, we see similar data. The weekly trading volume now sits at $12.2 million, up 24%. While the number of traders went up 18% to 191,430.

The difference between the numbers sits in the fact that not every action on OpenSea is also a trade. For example, bidding requires an inflow of value, but doesn't equal a sale.
