While the crypto market tried to contain the massive price decline from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin NFTs were performing excellent. On July 5th, there was a 70% growth in the NFT sales to over $3 million, with a combined 4,000 buyers and sellers involved in the transaction. Here, we will examine the crypto market crash, Bitcoin NFT growth, and the collections contributing to it.
$2.71 Billion BTC Transfers Sees Bitcoin Drop To $54k
The 4th and 5th of July were days of chaos for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, with the apex cryptocurrency dropping down to less than $54k. Apparently, the primary cause of the downturn was the $2.71 billion BTC transfers from Mt. Gox. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, Mt. Gox wallets moved 47,229 BTC ($2.71B) from the cold wallet 1HeHL.
More details show the Japanese crypto exchange moved 2701.8 BTC ($148.4M) out of their wallets, with 1544.7 BTC ($84.9M) sent to Bitbank through Gox address 1PKGG. Another 1157.1 BTC ($63.6M) was sent to an unknown counterparty, bc1qkjc, which is predicted to be a listed repayment exchange.
Top NFTs Driving 70% Increase in Bitcoin NFT Sales
Despite the massive price drop, Bitcoin NFTs are currently on the recovery, with many NFT collections contributing to the recent 70% growth. According to data from CryptoSlam, the number of buyers grew by 22% to over 2,400, while the number of sellers grew by over 13% to 2,313. A 30% growth in the number of NFT transactions saw it increase to 4,000, with over $3 million in sales in one day. Even though there was a drop in NFT sales on 6th July, some NFT collections within the Bitcoin blockchain are still performing well.
RuneStone Bitcoin NFTs
RuneStone emerges as one of the best-performing Bitcoin NFTs after registering a critical $1.4 million in sales within seven days. This represents a 40% growth while the number of transactions for this NFT increases to over 2,000.
$PIZZA BRC-20 NFTs
$PIZZA BRC-20 NFTs is another great weekly among the NFT collections within the Bitcoin blockchain, with a 25% increase to $1.3 million. The number of NFT transactions also increased by 17% to 2,200, while the number of buyers saw a 54% surge to 1,205.
Shrooms Bitcoin NFTs
Even though this is a rising NFT collection, it entered the top 10 weekly NFT collections within the Bitcoin blockchain. The total worth of NFT sales increased by 590% to $320,000, while the number of transactions increased by 500. Apparently, investors expect this NFT collection to continue on this bullish path.
UniWorlds: Key of Destiny
Just like Bitcoin Shrooms, UniWorlds: Key of Destiny is another NFT collection that experienced over 500% growth within one week. The total sales increased to $249,000 even though the number of transactions increased by 450%.
Conclusion
Some Bitcoin NFTs are performing very well in the NFT market despite the price drop from BTC and the general crypto market. The price drop was due to $2.71 billion worth of BTC transfers from the Mt. Gox crypto exchange. However, BTC NFT collections weren’t affected much after recording a 70% increase on July 5th to $3 million in sales. RuneStone collections, UniWorlds: Key of Destiny, Bitcoin Shrooms, and $PIZZA BRC-20 are some of the NFTs with incredible performance.
