A new kind of hike for NFTs over the last 24 hours
The volume of NFT trades has increased over the last 24 hours as crypto-markets plummeted. With the floor prices of several prominent NFT collections falling too, investors have been snapping them up on the cheap.
Top NFT projects such as Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), Crypto Punks, and Sorare have all seen more than 100% jumps in 24-hour trading volumes.
According to CryptoSlam, the NFT market has seen a 54% increase in trading volume in the last 24 hours, compared to the previous 24-hour window.

Despite this, DappRadar recently revealed that the NFT market looks to be resilient—although market instability has resulted in a slew of experimental enterprises such as Goblintown and ShitBeast.
DappRadar data also revealed that the OpenSea marketplace has benefited the most from the increase in trade volume. In fact, the platform registered a 173.43% hike in trading volume and $23.88 million in sales.
Within the same time frame, the number of traders on the platform declined by 15.39% to 29,300. This implied that only a limited number of investors with relatively large sums of money are making moves.
Eight of the top 10 NFT projects in terms of 24-hour sales volume have seen at least a 115% increase in trade volume. BAYC NFTs from Yuga Labs is currently in the first place, with gains of 262.79% in the last 24 hours and $7.1 million in sales.
According to NFT Price Floor, the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club’s floor price —or the cost of the cheapest-available NFT listed on a secondary marketplace —has dropped to roughly $107,000. This suggests a 16% fall over the last 24 hours
