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!

Right Place & Right Time (bitcoin hourly price offset)
Each day, a new composition for the Master is generated autonomously using a data feed of Bitcoin's last 24 hours of price action. Each hour's price programmatically controls rotation, scale, and position of a correlating layer. Astute viewers will surmise the day's price volatility simply by examining the artwork. While the daily image generation is the result of autonomous API calls, utilizing an algorithm the artist wrote, the artist has chosen to retain a control token. This token allows him to fine-tune variables associated with his algorithm, in addition to addressing aesthetic concerns within the life-cycle of the artwork. Layer state, alpha, hue, saturation, and brightness are elements the artist has retained control of in order that this artwork remain a living work-in-progress. An earlier iteration of this artwork was featured as a nightly projection mapping video on the face of the Daniels Fisher Clocktower, as part of ETH Denver 2020. Access to this and additional exclusive content awaits the master token owner at the artist's NFT Portal: https://collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/right-place-right-time-bitcoin-hourly-price-offset/

José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
