Bored Apes? Crypto Punks? Move aside; it’s time for Moonbirds. Only four days since launching, the collection of 10k pixelated-bird NFTs has racked up over $250m in sales to sit pretty at the top of OpenSea’s NFT marketplace based on weekly volume traded.
Almost 80k ETH has flown in Moonbirds direction already, with current floor prices sitting at around 20 ETH ($60k). Having a Moonbird gives you the chance to stake it (which they aptly call ‘nesting’) and earn rewards on a tier-based system, increasing as HODLers continue to HODL.
Ethereum , the most popular NFT trading crypto, was up 1.5% on Tuesday. While ETH reaps the benefits of the NFT marketplace, it remains a frantic place – Moonbirds have already faced drama due to the expensive 2.5 ETH mint price and allegations of raffle manipulation.
