Another mostly slumping week for NFT sales overall.
The upcomong Forge event for Clone – X, allowing users to claim physical merchandise, in this case, Nike sneakers, has brought a renewed interest in the Clone collection, and CryptoPunks saw a bump in trading volume as well, perhaps boosted by two 88 ETH sales and a recent CryptoPunks meetup hosted by Beeple.
Gods Unchained continues to dominate the gaming market in regards to NFT trading, maintaining a pretty steady 4-5 million dollars in volume per week!
