12/08/2022 NFT News | OpenSea’s Daily Volume is Increasing | August Week 2

nft news august week 2

With Wednesday’s positive reaction toCPI data, the NFT market saw liquidity coming into the space. However, we must not forget that although the numbers were encouraging they are still very high.

Bitcoin is crawling to make new higher highs. Ethereum is more convincing, but we are not seeing the surge of volume that lines us with confidence. Let’s discover the most important NFT News from the second week of august:

1) OpenSea’s Daily Volume is Increasing

OpenSea’s daily volume was just shy of $30 million. This is important as it is the highest number for the past 30 days. Market cap is also up 5.24% month on month. This is in line with the positive sentiment across crypto. Historically August is a favorable month forNFTsand many are hoping this year is the same.

2) NFT Transactions Remain Consistent

When looking at the volume of transactions, Wednesday’s spike was higher than any of the days in the 2nd half of July. Transaction count has had a good start to August but still remains lower than the first 2 weeks of July. Granted, there are a few more days to go until 1st half of August is over. We have to see over the coming days if the positive sentiment stays and gives this relief rally a bit more room to grow.

Whilst crypto markets hit their lows in June, the NFT market remained extremely cautious. Therefore, the confidence came back when traders realized there were bargains to be had. Whilst some needed liquidity others took advantage of the opportunity. Broadly speaking transaction volume has ranged between 40k and 60k.

3) Are NFT Buyers Coming Back?

Looking at the Buyers vs sellers chart there is certainly an uptick. Could it be that sellers are cutting their losses and moving into other collections? Or could it be that buyers are slowly returning to the NFT space? The charts are telling us supply is outstriping demand which could signal that there are bargains still to be had.

Since May, only twice have buyers dipped below the 20k region. It feels that those that are in the NFT Market are seasonsed traders who are proficient in the space. If we take out the highs of May or have a closer correlation between buyers and sellers we can assume that the NFT market space is on its way to being bullish.

4) Let’s Not Ignore Solana NFTs

OpenSea remains the dominant marketplace. This is certainly true when it comes to the USD volume and the money it attracts. Even in these bearish times, the top 5 Solana NFT marketplaces collectively manage just over $7 million daily. This is approximately 3 times smaller than the USD volume that OpenSea is currently attracting. However, it is a different story when we look at the users.

Yes, it is in the ballpark of around 30k users which is similar to OpenSea. However, with the active user count almost as high, this signifies more transactions per user. With this in mind, Solana’s main NFT marketplace, Magic Eden, is considerably more active than OpenSea. Something definitely to keep an eye on once the NFT bull market returns!

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" is dedicated to the mysterious creation of Bitcoin, and acts as the showcase artwork within Javier Arrés’ exploratory series "Bitcoin, The Origin". "Who is the creator of Bitcoin?" The artist, Arrés, explores this question, and the feelings of doubt and mystery that accompany it, through his unique artistic language. An unknown, an enigma. It should be remembered that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym of Bitcoin's author or authors and gives us little insight into its true creator. For this Visual Toy, Arrés uses the signature claw machine, his famous half-operation, to symbolize our collective ignorance and unconfirmed belief: As soon as it has the stuffed animal within its grasp and appears to have solved the puzzle, the animal escapes again, and again. At present, there are three more public and studied possibilities who are either believed to be the creators of the currency or who directly claim the creation of it. It may be all or none of them, yet these three personalities leave us clues which are an important part of this interesting enigma. For this moment, it will remain unknown... In this artwork, Arrés elevates the claw machine from the apparatus, to an iconic pop art object serving as an important element to the Bitcoin creation narrative. Action is everywhere, with each movement serving an iconographical or metaphorical purpose related directly to cryptocurrency: Various ups and downs, roller coasters, mining points, robot, coins and more speak to a sense of hope, risk, mystery, randomness and possibility of pay out. Hundreds of manically thought out details make this creation one of the artist’s most complex Visual Toys to date. ------- "Bitcoin, The Origin" is a set of two Visual Toys, titled "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" and "It’s Alive!" which reflect and explore the mystery and enigmas behind the creation of Bitcoin. Arrés presents these proposals to us in his signature style, full of iconography, fantasy, maniacal animations and a panoply of details (both subtle and overt) which simultaneously fascinate, hypnotize, and narrate this historical milestone through the singular vision of the artist. Through this series, Arrés freezes a crucial moment of cryptocurrency history, taking a still photo under his vision and turning it into two unique crypto artworks. ---- More info about Javier Arrés: https://javierarres.com/about.html

Fairy fairy quite contrary, how does your garden glow? With black tinged wings and an evil smile, all dead bodies lined in a row.
Crypto Toy Coin
This piece represents the creation of a new "Visual Toy", a term created by me to encompass my unique and exclusive GIF-Arts. The latter, "Crypto Toy Coin" is the only and first in the cryptocurrency theme. In it I represent the fast-paced world of finance in the virtual environment, the Internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us. These "Visual Toys" invite you to imagine, that is their function, that is the game. The ultimate goal is that you imagine, that it is you who gives it meaning. There are no good or bad answers, just the projection of each one. I've only created the trigger, the piece where you can project your imagination and let it fly.
Ethboy
Young Vitalik takes on the role of Picasso’s son Paulo dressed as Harlequin in this artwork but the octahedron Ethereum logo replaces the chequered pattern of the original jester outfit. Leaning against a large chair, the boy genius fiddles with his fingers in a somewhat nervous manner; nevertheless, he stares directly at the viewer with what appears to be a confident, ‘Mona Lisa-like’ smile. Vitalik has no idea what the future has in store for him, but he’s prepared to face any obstacle ahead as he begins life's adventure.
