BAYC and MAYC are seeing an increase in sales, but what about their floor price?

• BAYC and MAYC have seen a drop in the floor price since June 2022.
• However, this has not affected sales in any way.

The market for top Ethereum-based PFP (Profile Picture) NFT pools continues to show signs of weakness, with floor prices continuing to decline since last year, data from Delphi Digital has revealed.

Since June 2022, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC)two of the most popular PFP NFT collections, have experienced a 20% drop in floor prices.

Meanwhile, other collections, such as Clone X and Moonbirds, have seen even steeper declines, dropping 55% and 65% respectively.

Since the start of the year, the NFT ecosystem has experienced a wave in trading volume, which has contributed to increased trading activity for various NFT collections.

In particular, BAYC and MAYC have seen significant increases in sales volume so far this year, despite the decline in floor prices.

BAYC and MAYC are unable to give up top positions

Towards the end of 2022, CryptoPunks briefly overtook BAYC as the NFT pool with the largest share of market capitalization in the NFT market.

Despite the steady decline in the floor price, BAYC regained its position as the top NFT project and currently holds 8.17% of the total market share.

While CryptoPunks’ brief takeover of the top spot in the NFT market indicates the growing competition in the space, BAYC’s ability to maintain its position as a leading NFT project demonstrates its resilience and enduring popularity.

At the time of writing, CryptoPunks’ market capitalization represented 7.82% of the entire market capitalization.

While MAYC has also seen a constant drop in TVL over the past year, sales volume for the NFT project continues to rise.

According to data from NFTGo, MAYC’s sales volume in the past year represented 6.33% of the entire market sales volume. BAYC was ahead with 7.69% within the same period.

In fact, the combined sales volume of Yuga Labs’ BAYC, Otherdeed and MAYC represented 22% of all sales recorded in the NFT market during the period under investigation.
