Bored Ape (BAYC) popularity dips

Launched in April 2021, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is one of the most successful NFT projects. However, the Bored Apes’ price has fluctuated wildly, even more so after the crypto market crash in May 2022. The floor price of BAYC NFT collection topped $420,000 in April 2022. BAYC project tanked by 60% in May to below $152,658, in average sales prices. These NFTs are now selling at a floor price of 79 ETH ($101,605).

According to DappRadar data, the overall volume of Bored Ape NFTs has declined by 22% while the average price of each BAYC NFT has fallen by over 14% in the last 30 days. There has been an 18% decline in the number of traders, with only 299 traders of BAYC in 30 days while the total amount of incoming value to Bored Ape’s smart contract was 0.

There are 10,000 Bored Ape NFTs in circulation, with each commanding a different price. These apes have been subject to several thefts. BAYC NFTs worth about 200 ETH were stolen in June 2022. Adding to the woes of Bored Ape owners, there is an ongoing investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission into Yuga Labs, the company behind BAYC. The SEC is investigating whether Yuga Labs has violated any rule by issuing NFTs and launching its native cryptocurrency (ApeCoin).

CryptoPunks performs better than BAYC, but still far from All Time High (ATH)

CryptoPunks NFT has been performing better than BAYC recently, data shows. It is currently leading the NFT market with a 30-day average floor price of $83,470. The trade volume of CryptoPunks NFTs has also jumped over 64% to $22.1 million but the floor price is down nearly 9% to $83,470 in the last 30 days, according to DappRadar.

The CryptoPunks project has been deemed as the “alpha and omega” of the crypto art movement by British auction house Christie’s. It was launched in 2017 by Larva Labs as a collection of 10,000 unique collectable characters with proof of ownership stored on Ethereum blockchain. The project has been immensely successful in the last 5 years.

However, the CryptoPunks project has suffered in the ongoing bear market with sales dropping to below $100,000. In August 2021, CryptoPunks had an all-time high sales of $680 million. According to DappRadar data, there were only 148 sales of CryptoPunks and just 155 traders in the last 30 days. While the project has shown some traction after last month’s short revival in the NFT market, there is still a long way to go to reach anywhere near the ATH.
