Pudgy Penguins experienced a notable increase of over 20% within a week, while Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) surged by 81% over the past 30 days, despite a general downturn in the NFT market. According to NS3.AI, data from CryptoSlam indicates that global NFT sales decreased to approximately $175 million in April, down from $304 million in February. Additionally, both transactions and active users saw a reduction of nearly 50%. However, average sale prices more than doubled month over month, suggesting that capital is concentrating on higher-value blue-chip trades rather than signaling a broad market recovery.
