Meebits and Terraforms Reign, Older NFT Projects Drop Down the Weekly Sales Ladder

Terraforms saw $1.2 billion in sales last week up more than 298%, and Loot recorded $468 million up 79% since last week. Cryptophunks V2 sales are up 88% this week and Azuki NFT sales increased over 141%. Collections that were once top contenders in terms of NFT sales like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) have seen sales slip. BAYC sales are down more than 34% during the last seven days.
Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) sales are up more than 4% but the MAYC collection has slid to the tenth largest NFT compilation after being a top five contender. Furthermore, The Sandbox NFT sales have decreased by over 31% after the metaverse project’s significant rise two weeks ago.
Overall, NFT markets and sales have managed to stave off the crypto market carnage that crypto assets have been experiencing in recent times. Those funds, while lower in value, are still purchasing NFTs in great numbers and the billion-dollar NFT industry remains profitable.
