Is the OpenSea-BAYC connect the latest to rock the NFT market? This data suggests…

• New data implies a correlation of BAYC floor prices and OpenSea volume
• Despite declining from its peak, major crypto collections (BAYC,MAYC,CryptoPunks) performed well 

The BAYC NFT collection continued to retain its top spot in the NFT space despite the volatility faced by the crypto market. The impact of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection was indicated by Delphi Digital’s latest tweet. The tweet also suggested a correlation between BAYC and OpenSea.

   A 112.27xx hike on the cards if APE hits ETH’s market cap?

According to the data, floor prices for BAYC peaked around the same time as total as OpenSea’s daily trading volumes. After hitting its peak, the floor price of BAYC declined, and the trading volume on OpenSea followed suit. 

This development suggested BAYC and other NFT collections associated with it such as Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) and CryptoPunks still played a key role in generating volume and interest in NFT marketplaces.

This was indicated by the spike in the percentage of APE held by top addresses. Large addresses went from holding 8% to 14% of the overall APE supply in the past month. Despite this increase in interest from whales, APE’s price continued to decline.
