CryptoPunks Trading Volume Surges 2,000% After Tiffany & Co Announcement
CryptoPunks trading volume surges 2,000% after Tiffany & Co announcement. Since the brand dropped the news, the community has been buzzing about NFTiff, Tiffany & Co’s new NFT collection.
Rise in Trading Volume
Not long after Tiffany & Co announced on Twitter regarding creating limited-edition pendants for CryptoPunk holders, the CryptoPunks collection surged by 2,000% within 24 hours, a large increase compared to the trading volume from the previous day. According to OpenSea, CryptoPunks also saw 1,400 ETH (approximately $2.3m) in sales within 24 hours. This surge in price was reportedly caused to the hype surrounding the Tiffany & Co announcement.

The floor price for the CryptoPunks collection is currently sitting at around 74.5 ETH (around $125,000), the lowest price in the open market. This is, however, still a much lower floor price than the collection’s yearly high of 83 ETH (around $135,000) on 16 July.

This project however, received mixed reactions from the community. Some in the community have complained that the mint price of 30 ETH is way too high while others say that the high price is acceptable due to Tiffany & Co. being a luxury brand. The current surge of CryptoPunks’ trading volume however, seems hints that people in the community are more excited about this project than originally thought.
