Mixed Momentum Hits NFT Sector; DMarket Leads the Top 10 Chart While Blue-Chips Diverge
The NFT industry provided a week of fluctuating performances among the key collections, where DMarket has become the top-ranked by volume of sales in the week. Gaming-centered marketplace achieved a sale of $7.42 million and increased by 16.38% during the week. Its 199,162 transactions and 15,527 buyers provided it with an overwhelming edge over the other industry players.
This sustained execution strengthens the DMarket presence in the gaming NFT ecosystem, in which micro-transactions can be made quickly, and volume is a fundamental force.
CryptoPunks Records the Week’s Biggest NFT Surge
In second place with a new wave of resurgence that stunned many market observers was CryptoPunks. It achieved weekly sales totaling $3.24 million, with an enormous increase of 57.56%. Although there were 32 purchases and 22 buyers of the collection, the spike highlights the renewal of interest in the high-quality blue-chip NFTs.
The low number of transactions and large value of sales indicates the luxury position of the collection, where few transactions could radically change the weekly figures.
Pudgy Penguins and Courtyard Move in Opposite Directions
Pudgy Penguins took the third position making $3.03 million in sales, which increased by 25.35% per week. The project still enjoys good brand presence, greater retail visibility, and increasing digital-to-physical ecosystem. Its 113 buyers and 191 transactions represent good involvement of the NFT community members.
However, there was a sharp drop in Courtyard after a series of good weeks. It registered sales of $2.22 million, which declined by 31.88%. It remained very active in the market, with 7,781 buyers and 37,706 transactions.
The move underscores the ongoing instability in collectibles pegged on physical property, which Courtyard frequently leads.
Guild of Guardians Gains While BAYC Faces Further Pressure
Guild of Guardians reported a positive increase, with the sale of $1.88 million at 12.30% growth. The collection has 908 buyers and 1855 transactions showing growing momentum as the community waits with anticipation of further game development and ecosystem improvements.
By contrast, Bored Ape Yacht Club had another difficult week, dropping 18.93% to $1.56 million in sales. The blue-chip NFT project that was previously the dominant one has only had 90 transactions with 58 buyers, thus struggling with market fatigue and changing investor sentiment.
Middle Tier Collections See Mixed Momentum
LilPudgys recorded a decline of 10.65% in sales of $850.99K. It has 238 buyers and 448 transactions with strong community involvement. Moonbirds experienced a worse drop, falling 31.48% to $838.31K of sales.
This is an extension of a multi month cycle of diminished activity, but its 162 transactions show a continued niche activity.
Gods Unchained made $629K sales, decreasing by 12.37%, which was backed by 1,009 purchasers and 18,632 orders. Its use is also closely connected to the dynamics of the gameplay, which usually establishes the cyclical trading patterns in the collection.
Mutant Ape Yacht Club also felt the pressure, as it dropped by 16.58% to $610.26K. Having 232 transactions and 124 buyers, MAYC reflects the overall negative attitude of BAYC since the Yuga Labs ecosystem is still in the process of adapting.
Lower Tier Blue Chips Decline as Sorare and Azuki Slip
Sorare saw a drop in weekly NFT sales by 9.83% to $572.17K. The fantasy sports site had still picked up 11,318 customers and 53,530 purchases indicating that the users are still active even after the slump. The trading trends of Sorare are usually affected by seasonal factors and sports related cycles.
Azuki was last by making a sale of $554.14K which dropped by 4.66%. It has 158 transactions, and 90 buyers, which is moderate but stable activity. The collection is still culturally influential, but still experiences market pressure that has burdened the majority of anime-inspired NFT assets over the course of the year.
