20/09/2021 Emblem Vault NFT Sales Rise 225% in Week

In brief

  • Emblem Vault is a tokenized multi-asset wallet. 
  • It wraps crypto portfolios into a single NFT token. 
  • Several rare early NFTs have resurfaced in Emblem Vaults, including the RarePepe series. 

NFT project Emblem Vault has blown up over the last month to become the second-largest NFT project by sales volume, according to NFT data aggregator CryptoSlam.

In the last twenty-four hours, Emblem Vault NFTs generated over $5 million in sales, in 607 transactions from 300 buyers.

In terms of sales volume, Emblem Vault is still $9.5 million short of the biggest NFT project right now, the Pokémon-esque blockchain game Axie Infinity, but Emblem Vault sits more than $4 million ahead of popular NFT projects like NBA Top Shot and Bored Ape Yacht Club. 

What is an Emblem Vault NFT?

Emblem Finance launched the project on Bitcoin and Ethereum in September 2020. 

Each Emblem Vault is an Ethereum-based NFT that functions as a multi-asset wallet. They let you trade portfolios of NFTs and fungible cryptocurrencies, including those from different chains, as a single token.

Every Emblem Vault NFT contains a series of blockchain addresses generated from a single seed phrase. You can store different digital assets in each of the addresses at any time, and only those with private keys can send tokens to other wallets. 

 

Since Emblem wraps up tokens as modern ERC-721 NFTs, the same type of tokens that trade on popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, the project lets collectors trade NFTs that predate the ERC-721 NFT  standard.

Pepe the Frog is among the classic NFTs that have resurfaced in Emblem Vaults. Earlier this month, a vintage RarePepe NFT, depicting a cartoon ‘Pepe’ of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakomoto, sold for 147 ETH, or around $500,000 at the time.

Similarly, EthPepe—a pepe depicting Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterinchanged hands for 100 WETH, or around $330,000 at the time of sale.

In the last 24 hours, the sales volume of Emblem Vaults dropped from $6 million to $2 million, mirroring the rapid ascent on Thursday, when sales volumes grew to $6 million from $1.7 million. 

 

But the sudden loss of activity hasn’t dented Emblem Vaults’ standing as the second biggest NFT project on the market right now.

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.
