Top Popular NFTs: BAYC, CryptoPunks, BudBlockz
The non-fungible token market grew dramatically in 2021, with sales exceeding $40 billion. Although the market has cooled this year, there are tens of thousands of collections available, with only a few rising to the top. Here are three of the most popular NFTs.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)
Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of 10,000 unique NFTs built on the Ethereum blockchain. It launched in April 2021, just as the NFT market was really taking off.
In November 2021, BAYC overtook CryptoPunks as the highest priced NFTs, and the two collections have been battling for the top spot ever since. BAYC’s popularity is driven by a couple of factors. One of the most common reasons for purchase, and what sets it apart from other projects, is that owners have full commercial rights to their monkeys.
Owners also become members of the private online Yacht Club and can access personalized events. Further driving demand is the long list of celebrities who have bought a BAYC NFT, including Justin Bieber, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Neymar. Sales have already passed USD 1 billion and are still incredibly popular.
CryptoPunks
CryptoPunks was one of the first ever NFT collections launched in 2017 on the Ethereum blockchain. The idea to launch 10,000 unique avatars began as an experiment by Larva Labs founders Matt Hall and John Watkinson.
Being such a pioneer in the NFT space, many people describe CryptoPunks as the most important and influential NFT collection out there. Its fame increased further after purchases from a number of celebrities, including Jay-Z, Serena Williams and Heidi Klum.
CryptoPunks is one of the two most valuable NFTs – the other being BAYC – although both collections are now owned by Yuga Labs. Its value stems primarily from its popularity among influencers and its provenance as the oldest collection on Ethereum.
BudBlockz
The BudBlockz Ganja Guruz NFT collection is yet to be released. But it has the potential to become a serious contender among the top NFT projects due to its link to the marijuana sector, likely celebrity endorsement and greater utility.
The BudBlockz ecosystem is a growing community of cannabis enthusiasts and investors who want to be part of an industry that is predicted to be worth over $175 billion by the end of the decade. Its original token, BLUNT, is still in the presale stages, but as an indicator of demand, the private sale sold all of its allocated 26,880,000 tokens faster than expected.
The platform has several features that will encourage user participation, such as a peer-to-peer e-commerce store where people can buy, sell and trade cannabis products. In addition, there will also be P2E games with retro 90s inspired games.
The launch of 10,000 Ganja Guruz NFTs will further increase the demand. Since they will be created as ERC-721 standard on the Ethereum blockchain, buying, trading and selling will be easy. There is also a likelihood that weed-friendly celebrities will be involved.
In addition, Ganja Guruz owners receive membership in all BudBlockz dispensaries and discounts in the online store. Holders also have access to shared ownership of dispensaries, farms and other BudBlockz partners. This means investors can gain exposure to this growing industry while also investing in an NFT.
Ganja Guruz NFTs are expected to sell quickly and it is wise to get in early.
