NFT Market Shows Signs of Recovery in November
The NFT sector has seen positive developments in the month of November, indicating a potential market recovery. According to a report by NFT18, the profit and loss ratio among non-fungible token traders has returned to the same level as May 2022, with approximately 41% of traders in profit. The floor price of the top 500 collections has also increased by about 42% in just one month. Additionally, the holding period for NFTs has significantly decreased, with traders now holding their NFTs for an average of 18 days compared to 100 days in October. However, the average price has dropped by 42% since October.
November Records: Cryptopunks and ETHboy
November started with the sale of a cryptopunk for about $1.1 million, signaling a remarkable recovery for one of the most popular NFT collections. Other cryptopunks were also sold for significant amounts during the same week. Notable sales include “ETHboy” created by Alotta Money and Trevor Jones, which was sold for about $392,000. In the primary market, Jack Butcher Trademark saw success with 10,000 NFTs sold for a total of 690 ETH. Herbert W. Franke’s Zentrum collection also performed well, selling 222 NFTs generating a total of 613 ETH. However, the secondary market price saw a decrease of 45% in less than a week.
Wash Trading and NFT Market Analysis
In November, there were concerns about wash trading resulting from the second round of airdrop from the Blur project. However, only approximately 4% of wash trading was detected, indicating a relatively low number and a positive sign for the project’s health. There were also 20% of suspicious sales. The NFT market can be analyzed by different segments, including collectibles, games, art, virtual worlds, and utility. Collectibles remain the dominant segment in terms of trading volume, while art has shown significant growth due to discussions about on-chain art following Elon Musk’s comments on NFTs.
Hot Take: NFT Market Recovery on the Horizon
The NFT market has shown promising signs of recovery in November, with traders experiencing profits and an increase in floor prices for top collections. The decrease in holding periods and the success of notable sales further indicate positive developments. However, it is important to note that we are still at the beginning of this Bull run, and there is still a long way to go before a full market recovery can be confirmed. Nonetheless, these trends provide hope for the future of the NFT sector.
