Blue-Chip NFT Prices Slide Amid Market Downturn, But Some Collections Shine

Leading NFT collections have seen floor prices fall amid December’s market weakness. Flagship projects like CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Pudgy Penguins experienced 30-day declines between 12% and 28%.

Yet some art-focused collections, including Autoglyphs, Fidenza, and Chromie Squiggle, posted modest gains, showing resilience. A new entry, Sports Rollbots, joined the top 10 by market cap with a $5,800 floor price and a valuation above $58 million, displacing Mutant Ape Yacht Club.

The mixed performance underscores how niche and artistic collections can weather broader market downturns better than mainstream blue-chip NFTs.
