NFT Sales Pop Off Again — CryptoPunks Flexing, Polygon Cooking, and Wash Trading… Washing?

[cryptohog]

Alright folks, buckle up, because the NFT world just had its second energy drink in a row and it’s feeling spicy.

NFT sales are up 10.44%, hitting a juicy $136.5 million. Yes, we’re back to spending Monopoly money on pixel art and game loot — and we love it.

At the same time, Bitcoin's strutting around at $108K, Ethereum's doing a little 3.6% happy dance, and the whole crypto market cap is now flexing at $3.33 trillion. That’s up from $3.21 trillion — no big deal, just another casual half-a-country's GDP added.

Let’s Talk Numbers (but make it spicy):

NFT buyers? Still hanging in at 1,061,348 (yep, still over a million of us degenerates out here).
Sellers? Up 8.09% — clearly, more people trying to cash in before we all start trading JPEGs of our cats.
Transactions? Down almost 20%... I guess we’re getting pickier with our cartoon monkey purchases.

Now to the blockchain battlefield:

Immutable is still the king of the hill:
🪙 $43.9M in sales (+30%)
🧼 Wash trading? A humble $6. Yes, six bucks. That's like... one latte.

Polygon suddenly remembered it’s a real blockchain:
$25M in sales (+51%!)
🫧 But hold up... wash trading exploded by 1,573% to $564K. Someone’s clearly doing laundry over there.

Ethereum fell to third — like a washed-up celebrity still demanding bottle service:
$22.5M in sales, but down 8.6%
Wash trading up 15%, currently $1.9M. Fancy soap.

Collections on Fire:

Guild of Guardians Heroes — the collection that said “I AM THE MAIN CHARACTER.”
$26.8M in sales, up 37.72%
(Immutable gang rise up)

️ The Courtyard (Polygon) — Second place with $18.9M
Buyers up, sellers down — classic supply squeeze move.

CryptoPunks — They’re back, baby. Up 26%, now at $2M in sales.
All metrics are up:

Transactions +25%

Buyers +12.5%

Sellers +14%
The old-school pixel punks still got it!

TL;DR: The NFT world is partying again, led by game-based collections, chain rivalries, and wash trading drama. Prices are up, pixels are popping, and CryptoPunks are proving they age like fine JPEG wine.

Anyone buying into the hype or just watching with popcorn?
