CryptoPunks leads NFT sales for the second straight day

CryptoPunks dominated the market with daily sales volume for the second consecutive day on Wednesday.

The Ethereum-based non-fungible token (NFT) collection recorded daily sales of over $1.25 million, with a total of eight transactions each attributed to seven unique buyers and sellers.

CryptoPunks led the market despite a 25% sales drop compared to the previous day. Daily sales volume of US$1.7 million also led the market on Tuesday, according to CryptoSlam data.

CryptoPunks’ two-day dominance failed to keep its parent chain Ethereum at the top of the blockchain rankings for NFT sales. Bitcoin collectibles generated $6.68 million in total sales on Wednesday, outpacing Ethereum’s $6.04 million.

The second highest-performing collection of the day was DMarket, with a daily sales volume of $725,058, involving 4,147 unique buyers and 3,569 sellers across 31,734 transactions.

DMarket is a collection of NFTs representing in-game items for the Mythos chain.

NodeMonkes on Bitcoin took third place with daily sales volume of $717,301.84, engaging 37 unique buyers and 35 sellers in 38 transactions. This is a slight decrease from the $750,024.31 achieved the previous day. The collection’s all-time sales currently stand at US$214.35 million, reflecting a strong market position.

NodeMonkes is the leading collectible of all time on the Bitcoin network, with $214.5 million in sales. It’s about $1 million away from surpassing CyberKongz, an Ethereum-based collectible that’s currently ranked 26th on the all-time sales chart.

Other notable collectibles on Wednesday’s top 10 sales list include $PMPS BRC-20 NFTs, which had a daily sales volume of $634,465, and Mad Lads, which achieved sales of $518,697.

Both collections experienced fluctuations in their daily performance; While $PMPS BRC-20 NFTs witnessed an increase in transactions compared to the previous day, Mad Lads saw a decrease in sales from $800,760.

Solana Monkey Business, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, DogeZuki Collection and Guild of Guardians Avatars were also included in the best-performing NFT collections of the day
