The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) non-fungible token (NFT) collection surged to the forefront of the market with a total of US$919,152 in daily sales on Wednesday.

BAYC ended DMarket’s near week-long streak of leading daily NFT sales, CryptoSlam data shows.

BAYC is the world’s second-leading collection in all-time NFT sales with around US$3.18 billion. It’s second only to Axie Infinity’s US$4.27 billion.

DMarket from the Mythos blockchain was pushed down to the second spot on Wednesday despite a small sales bump to US$698,815 from US$685,764.

Solana’s DeGods claimed the third spot in the daily rankings with sales of US$651,574.

Guild of Guardians Heroes on Immutable fell down to the fourth spot from the second spot for two consecutive days to open the week. It recorded US$532,034 in daily sales.

Mad Lads on Solana came in fifth with US$430,919.

Ethereum blockchain, where BAYC resides led all blockchains with US$4.74 million, a notable increase from the previous day’s US$3.28 million.

Solana was second with US$2.8 million, up from US$1.67 million the previous day.

Meanwhile, Mythos Chain is closing in on the US$500 million milestone, now just under US$6 million away.

Mythos was ranked fifth on Wednesday’s blockchain sales rank with almost US$700,000.

Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
