Right behind it is the Guardian’s Guild, with trading volumes of $550.76K and 680 deals, indicating investors and users are active on the coin. Cryptopunks continues with a more concentrated, high-value trading activity of 427.07K, with sales of just four sales, which further highlights Cryptopunks as a blue chip NFT market collection.
Established collections remain relevant among newcomers
The rankings of Pudgy Penguins and Azure were one of the best collections. Pudgy Penguins earned up to $392.39,000 with 17 sales, while Azure produced a volume of $238.66k with 13 sales.
The boring APE Yacht Club (BAYC) continued to go well, but less dominant than before, this brought in $209.04K in seven high-value transactions.
One collection that is more aggressively traded in terms of the number of transactions is Gods Unchained, a blockchain-based card game, during which volumes reached separate sales of 199.22k and 2.43k. Lil Pudgys ($181.38K, 65 trades), Milady Maker (124.33K, 24 trades), and TTK Hero (102.02K, 317 trades) have finished the top 10 rankings.
Sales in the top NFT market highlight high-end activities of punk and azuki
The NFT market also has high value private sales, and it has been confirmed that you need to trust premium digital assets. The top seller was Azure #558, which sold for $170.28K.
Four of the top five sales were Cryptopunk #3251 for $139.74K, Cryptopunk #6496 for 96.95K, Cryptopunk #1444 for $95.79k and Cryptopunk #8855 for 94.58K. This grouping of costly punk sales shows an ongoing belief in the historical and cultural values of the collection, despite the new projects taking part in the NFT market.
Opensea maintains market dominance by volume and trader
Among the markets, Opensea reevaluates the grip with a vast 111.51K active trader, including the overall value of the remaining competitors not approaching. Next was a blurred 660 traders and a volume of 1.13m, filling the big gap between the more professional traders and collectors niche.
The listed Cryptopunks Marketplace collects a whopping $427,000 in trading volumes between six users.
Handling 335K against 1.07K traders, Magic Eden completed the top five with 162K volume and 883 traders. This evidence shows Opensea is a large market leader. Nevertheless, smaller and more niche markets, such as Blur and Cryptopunks Marketplace, affect the niche user base.
NFT activities grow in both the art and gaming ecosystems
The distribution of collections based on the volume and number of transactions indicates a mature market that reduces both collectible art and gaming assets. Popular art collections such as Cryptopunks, Azuki and Bayc continue to induce high value sales, while gaming systems like Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians demonstrate even more affordable and intentional NFTs.
As users further diversify their portfolios with both digital collectibles and useful assets, the NFT market has matured from a speculative bubble to a more realistic, multi-faceted environment.
