Although Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks still retain top market standing, the Courtyard boom is an indication of increased interest in asset-backed NFT collectibles that combine tangible worth and blockchain authenticity of possession.

Bored Ape Yacht Club was next with a volume of 386.72K, achieved through only 15 sales, once again demonstrating its status as a low-volume, high-value collection. CryptoPunks took third place and sold at four large trades with a price of $329.27K. These numbers indicate the level at which the market is finding equilibrium between blue-chip investments and the rising collections that are developing force by sheer market volume.

Top NFT Sales Showcase Continued Interest in CryptoPunks

CryptoPunk #6395 has sold the most over the last 24 hours and has achieved an impressive $83.10K. Other CryptoPunks such as #6273 ($82.95K), 7608 ($82.41K), and #2896 ($80.79K) followed closely behind. These figures indicate that even though there are new players in the field, the first and most legendary NFT collections remain the most valuable. Bored Ape Yacht Club was present in the Top 5 once again, with BAYC #8730 being sold at $33.60K, meaning that old IP-based projects still form the backbone of the NFT market.

Lil Pudgys and Guild of Guardians See Massive Retail Participation

Elsewhere, a Guild of Guardians and a Lil Pudgys were impressive in their activities outside the normal blue-chips. The Lill Pudgys registered 218.66K of the volume in 99 separate sales, and this shows a surge that could be retail-driven. Guild of Guardians trailed close behind with a relatively strong $193.74K in sales off 322 purchases, the most discrete trades within the top ten, aside from Courtyard.

Other projects with significant sales were the Mutant Ape Yacht Club at 175.10K (41 sales), Liberty Cats with 149.38K (8 sales), and Milady Maker 122.88K (28 sales). TTK HERO also became noticed, generating $93.54K on a surprising 301 sales, further advocating the fact that high-volume, low-price transactions are gaining traction.

OpenSea Retains Marketplace Crown Amidst Competitive Pressure

Of the marketplaces, OpenSea was leading, with a total daily volume of $1.87 million and 7,060 traders. Blur took second place with $1.07 million, which is a proving force of its power even amongst more qualitative and frequent traders, despite its much smaller user pool of 525 active participants. GetGems was promising as well, with a $353K volume being processed by 770 traders, which put it as a very good third-place candidate.

CryptoPunks ended up as one of the most popular marketplaces, bringing $329K out of only four trades. The others that completed the list included elements that had a trading volume of 303K with 1,100 active traders.

NFT Market Momentum Shifts Toward Multi-Tier Strategies

Institutional-quality holdings, such as CryptoPunks and Bored Apes, continue to lead the NFT market in terms of major transactions. Meanwhile, on the other hand, they are being enthralled by more user-friendly interfaces and collections such as Courtyard, Guild of Guardians, and Lil Pudgys.
Provided that this momentum persists, the integration of utility, gaming, and the incorporation of physical assets could be the next good wave of NFT market activity, and it can determine the trend of the rest of the year 2025.
