Is The NFT Market Really BACK?! 🌴

This weekend we had an explosion of sales we haven’t seen in months. Project twitter accounts are firing on all cylinders and projects are gearing up to launch. If you don’t believe us, the data doesn’t lie …

Below you can see that in the past week we have hit record volume in sales across the NFT market that we haven’t seen since June this year. For instance on December 4th we had $37,800,00+ USD in volume!

This is great timing considering this week (technically tomorrow) Art Basel in Miami kicks off which is one of (if not the biggest) art gatherings in the year. Hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts flock to Florida to attend this event alongside artists, celebrities, and musicians. It has also become an extremely popular gathering of web3/NFT enthusiasts and many projects put on their own parties, events, and even mini conferences.

To name a few are Pudgy Penguins’ Event, PizzaDAO, Rug Radio Event, CRYPTOADZ party, NFT Now The Gateway Event, and many more …
