Ethereum (ETH) wasonce againthe most active blockchain forNFTsales, leading the pack with $38.4 million worth of transactions.

Notably, Ethereum experienced a surge in wash trading last week, with money earned from the activity going up nearly 9.5% to $37.69 million.

Polygon (MATIC) was one of the biggest winners last week. Sales jumped 11.2% to push it past the Bitcoin (BTC) network and into second place.

Interestingly, wash trading on the platform has kept on rising. During the prior week, Polygon registered a 37.58% increase in wash trading. This past week, it went up 46% to $14.9 million, almost double the amount recorded previously.

Dropping to third place in terms of sales volume,Bitcoinwas one of the biggest losers of the week. Its 40% drop in sales was only better than Fantom (FTM) and Blast (BLAST), which registered dips of 87% and 74%, respectively.

Wash trading on the platform also went up nearly 200%, although the $63,072 that resulted from the activity is almost negligible compared to Ethereum and Polygon.

Solana (SOL) maintained its position with the fourth-highest sales volume of the week; however, last week’s fifth-placed network, Immutable (IMX), had to drop to #6 after Mythos Chain (MYTH) overtook it with nearly $4.5 million in sales.

Notable performances came from the likes of Zora,BNB Chain, and Panini. Sales volume on Zora went up more than 50%, while Panini, which is home to NFT sports trading cards, recorded a 22% jump to earn $135,000.

Among NFT collections, except for Mythos’ DMarket, all NFT collections that topped the sales chart in the previous week were nowhere to be seen. Instead, CryptoPunks made a comeback, registering a massive 155% jump in sales volume to make $5.26 million and become the top-selling NFT collection of the week.

Next was the aforementioned DMarket, which, despite a 9.21% dip in sales, still managed to earn north of $4 million.

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), another popular NFT collection built on Ethereum, managed to take the #3 spot after concluding 113 transactions that yielded nearly $3.5 million. The amount was impressive since it represented a 73.66% growth over the previous week’s sales.

Other collections that did well over the last week were Ethereum’s Pudgy Penguins and Solana’s DogeZuki Collection, which raked in $3.69 million and $2.43 million, respectively.

Top-selling NFTs of the week

In terms of individual pieces, the most expensive NFT of the week came from Ethereum. However, its $204,066 price tag pales in comparison to the previous week’s winner, which changed hands for $587,194.

In second place was a Bitcoin Ordinal that sold for $113,465, only $2,548 more than Mad Lads #4575 from Solana, which came in third.

The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
