3 Major NFT Collections See an Uptick in Volume: Azuki, Doodles, and Pudgy Penguins

NFT volume has picked up in the last 24 hours, led by three major collections: Azuki, Doodles, and Pudgy Penguins. At the time of writing, Azuki’s volume was up 252% with a floor price of 16.8 ETH, and Doodles’ volume saw an increase of 286% with a floor price of 7.50 ETH. Meanwhile, Pudgy Penguins saw its floor price cross seven ETH for the first time.  

Biggest Sales in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, the biggest sale for Azuki was 170 ETH, nine ETH for Doodles, and 11.88 ETH for Pudgy Penguins. The volumes have seen an upward trend with these collections since the beginning of the year, and the market is showing signals of bullish intent.

The upward trend in volume can be seen across the NFT market, with many other projects showing solid signs of volume. In the more popular segment, the Bored Apes collection saw a 300 ETH sale, whereas Crypto Punks saw an 87.9 ETH sale in the open market in the past 24 hours.

On the other hand, NFT-based DeFi projects like Bend DAO issued over 300 new loans against BAYC. NFT-based AMMs like SudoSwap have also witnessed a surge in volume recently, as the seven-day volume has crossed $200,000 on the protocol. The demand for NFT collection has not remained limited to the Ethereum Chain, with Solana showing signs of an increase in volume. Amongst the Solana NFT ecosystem, DeGods and y00ts account for almost 50% of that volume.

On the Flipside

• Crypto markets have shown signs of relative strength this year, but the uptrend in the volume of NFT markets should not be seen as a change in market conditions. NFT collectors should exercise caution while making purchases.
