NodeMonkes leads NFT sales with over $1 million per day
NodeMonkes has climbed to the top of the non-fungible token (NFT) market, recording more than $1.05 million in sales on Thursday, according to data from CryptoSlam.
The market-leading sales volume pushed NodeMonkes’ all-time sales volume to US$205.01 million, making it the 30th largest NFT collection.
It also ranks second all-time in total sales volume for a Bitcoin-based collection.
The second best performing collection of the day was Ethereum-based Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), a top NFT collection from Yuga Labs, with sales reaching US$1.02 million.
The monkey-themed collection’s historic sales volume now stands at a staggering $3.13 billion, the second largest in the industry.
With Wednesday’s sales total seeing a sharp rise alongside its third anniversary the day before, BAYC ended an eight-day streak below $1 million.
BAYC and NodeMonkes were the only collections to make at least $1 million in sales on Wednesday, with global NFT sales falling 1.1% from the day before to $24.4 million.
DMarket, which represents in-game items for the Mythos ecosystem, took third place in the daily leaderboard, with sales totaling US$841,305 across 33,506 transactions.
This high volume of transactions involved 4,305 unique buyers and 3,957 sellers.
DMarket’s historic sales have now reached $411.21 million, 16th all-time and about $55 million less than that of the Bored Ape Kennel Club, a BAYC-related project.
Other notable collections include the $PUPS BRC-20 and Mad Lads NFTs, which also saw substantial daily sales.
Bitcoin’s $PUPS BRC-20 NFTs saw sales of US$730,112.21 with 68 transactions, while Mad Lads saw sales of US$768,411.76 across 53 transactions.
Collections such as the Dokyo and $WZRD BRC-20 NFTs also made their mark, with Dokyo generating US$680,417.15 in sales and the $WZRD BRC-20 NFTs following closely behind at US$740,346.69.
WZRD cooled off mid-week, after dominating collections around the halving date.
On April 19, it recorded a total revenue of over $8 million, driven by increasing Bitcoin-based collections, coinciding with excitement over the successful launch of Runes and the halving of ‘a new fungible token protocol.
