The largest NFT dump ever

In a Feb. 25 Twitter thread, Nansen’s Simian Psychometric Enhancement Technician Andrew Thurman emphasized the previous two days’ trading activity, claiming it was “likely the largest NFT dump ever.” Making it one of the biggest NFT News.

The main selling event featured, among others, 90 NFTs from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), 191 NFTs from the Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), and 308 NFTs from Otherdeed.

 

Thurman speculated that Machi Big Brother (Machi) may have been trying to book some profits while also engaging in “one big wash trade to generate huge Blur Airdrop profits” when he swiftly purchased back 991 NFTs after the dump.

According to reports, Machi is among the biggest recipients of the BLUR token airdrop from burgeoning NFT Marketplace Blur. However, he recently ousted OpenSea from the top spot in terms of the trading volume.

Machi had received 1.8 million BLUR Tokens

The project began dispersing its first round of airdrops to the community on February 14. The quantity of airdropped tokens varied depending on the user’s level of platform engagement and NFT trading activity on Ethereum.

According to blockchain analytics company Arkham Intel, Machi received 1.8 million BLUR tokens on February 17. Also, he cashed them all out for $1.3 million.

Machi might be looking to increase his NFT trading activity. It is done in order to gain some additional BLUR tokens in the upcoming round. Also, other whales might be thinking the same thing.

BLUR Token Price

Blur’s price at the time of writing is $0.8227. However, with a market capitalization of $ 322 million and a 24-hour trading volume up by 81%. Now it stands at $ 412 million. At the same time, the circulating supply is approximately 391,004,422 BLUR as per the crypto market tracker CoinMarketCap.
