- Observers say that robust trade from the top NFT channel might be an indication of a maturing market, as investors become more discerning.
- Bored Apes, together with MAYC, BAKC, and BACC, witnessed a prominent sum in daily trade volume the previous Thursday.
- BAYC is an NFT channel created by Yuga Labs. It is a collection of 10,000 Bored Apes having distinct qualities such as dressing accessories etc.
Ape Rush
Yuga Labs Ape NFT collection like BAYC (Bored Apes Yacht Club) seems to be bucking the trend on an otherwise plummet market with robust trading performance of late.
Together BAYC — alongside Bored Ape Chemistry Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, and Mutant Ape Yacht Club — witnessed over $100 Million in daily trade volume just the previous Thursday, as per data provided by a data aggregator.
Meanwhile, recently announced ApeCoin, its governance token saw a prominent recovery in its value after swiftly falling apart upon its launch.
Robust sales from its top NFT channel would mean a prominent trade volume for a wider market, but researchers stated to a news agency that it is not happening currently, and which might be a genuine indication towards a maturing market.
NFT data aggregator CryptoSlam’s strategist Yehuda Petscher states that, conventionally, they were looking for a bull run in NFT channel CryptoPunks.
Rest Of The Collections Are Snailing
Yehuda told a news agency that typically, as next month’s tax season is nearing in United States, investors who have witnessed a prominent gain from NFTs all over the year, will commence making investments in minor collections.
He further added that, this time, it is Bored Apes which are being sold like crazy, but the rest of channels are not seeing a prominent rush similar to them.
Trade volume from March on top NFT marketplace OpenSea is bearish by around 60% in contrast to February, with its top contender LooksRare getting no better, as per an analytics website.
Petscher attributes this snailing of trade to market getting oversaturated, with a plethora of attention becoming range-bound into prominent NFT collections such as Bored Apes Yacht Club.
He states that, this status is attained via management of collections by Yuga Labs as sectors evolution day by day, backing community via channels such as Discord and assisting in developing a brand.

“Otherside” To Emerge Soon
NFT vending machine organization Neon’s co-founder, Jordan Birnholtz, stated to a news agency that, they are witnessing a shift in NFT sector that, via initial market forces or a usual cooling on hysteria, would be a net positive for industry in a long run.
He further added that folks are developing a positive vantage point towards NFT sector, meaning folks are shifting away from hype cycles and developing admiration regarding particular artists as well as creators. He went on to say that, this is putting token utility in center as opposed to an easy utilization as a display picture.
One such latest utility will be via evolution of P2E gaming, best understood by groundbreaking Axie Infinity, whose NFT channel is the highest-grossing of all time.
