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.

Interesting NFTs
CryptoPunk #8857
The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.
Cypher::Prophet
Cypher::Prophet is an artwork dedicated to the punk origins of blockchain designed and realized by hackatao and hex6c. In the transposition into images we started from the iconographic canons of the hacker (hoodie, laptop, cryptographic elements) and associated them with the figure of the prophet, thus highlighting the predictive nature of the works of Eric Hughes (Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1988) and Timothy C. May (Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, 1993) as well as of the blockchain inventors Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta (How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document, The Journal of Cryptography, 1991).
