According to PHOENIX, Guild of Guardians comes in second with $14.01 million in sales, slightly down by 5.29%. While it doesn’t generate the same per-transaction value as CryptoPunks, Guild of Guardians boasts a staggering 10,738 buyers and 25,616 transactions, making it one of the most active and engaged NFT ecosystems in the market.
DogeZuki ranks third with $10.06 million in sales but saw the steepest decline among the top three, down by 8.20%. Even so, its strong buyer engagement remains intact, with 239,377 buyers and 245,192 transactions, confirming its widespread popularity and active community involvement.
NodeMonkes Surges, While Sorare and DMarket Struggle
NodeMonkes emerged as the collection with the most significant growth this month, surging by 33.65% to reach $9.52 million in sales. Although it has a relatively small number of buyers, only 528, and 1,071 transactions, this rapid rise signals its increasing popularity within the NFT ecosystem.
On the other hand, Sorare and DMarket experienced considerable declines. Sorare, despite boasting 38,535 buyers and an overwhelming 479,590 transactions, saw its monthly sales drop by 29.07% to $9.13 million. DMarket faced the steepest decline, with sales plummeting by 58.81% to $8.47 million. These figures suggest some volatility in their market performance as they navigate changing buyer preferences. Bitcoin Puppets had a particularly strong month, recording $6.40 million in sales, a 16.34% increase. This growth is noteworthy considering the collection only has 523 buyers and 1,080 transactions, proving its ability to captivate a dedicated niche of collectors.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), once a hallmark of the NFT space, saw a sharp 46.87% decline in sales, ending the month with $6.27 million. The drop, coupled with a limited number of buyers and transactions, indicates that BAYC might be losing some of its former momentum. Solana Monkey Business also experienced a downturn, with sales falling by 31.26% to $6.00 million. Despite this decline, the collection still generated a respectable 1,717 transactions from 395 buyers, showing continued interest within the community. NFT collections, Courtyard posted a notable 13.55% increase in sales, reaching $4.48 million. With 3,822 buyers and 86,951 transactions, Courtyard’s growth is a clear indicator of its rising influence and expanding market presence.
The NFT market for October 2024 showcases a dynamic landscape, with well-established collections like CryptoPunks, Guild of Guardians, and DogeZuki continuing to lead the charts. However, the rise of collections like NodeMonkes and Courtyard points to new opportunities and challenges ahead. As market dynamics shift, the resilience of legacy collections and the rise of emerging players will continue to reshape the future of the NFT ecosystem.
