The NFT Marketplace OpenSea report transaction volume of $3.4 billion for August

NFT Marketplace OpenSea report transaction: On Ethereum last month, OpenSea, which markets non-fungible tokens, saw transaction volumes of $3.4 billion, a tenfold increase from July.  In its report on Monday, September 6, MarketWatch claimed that nonfungible tokens (NFT) had seen “unprecedented interest.” Ether, Solana, and other blockchains that create NFTs also increased with the rise in demand and attention for high-profile NFT collections. As Ether and Solana prices reached record highs last week, the former had its best week ever.

Mercury co-founder and CEO Petr Kozyakov said in an email to MarketWatch that Ether demand is higher with most NFTs minted on Ethereum.  The NFT collection with unique characters is CryptoPunks, a group that comprises 10,000 characters. The crypto punks NFT were recently purchased at auction by Visa for around $150,000.  Our first comment about Visa’s arrival at an auction last week was that its mere presence gave NFT an immediate boost of credibility – 90 CryptoPunks were sold within an hour after Visa’s announcement. Visa’s head of crypto, Cuy Sheffield, said, “We want to be a part of the evolving crypto economy.”  

According to OpenSea’s latest pricing, CryptoPunks transactions on OpenSea’s last 30 days totaled 202,321 ETH, which amounts to about $800 million based on ETH’s recent price.  Last week, Sotheby’s auctioned over 200 NFTs from its monkey-themed collection, Bored Ape Yacht Club. The auction runs until Sept. 9 and is expected to raise between $13.5 million and $20 million. According to 1stDibs, the eCommerce art dealer, paying outrageous prices for things you can’t hold might seem challenging to understand, but this is where the artistic realm is going.
