Magic Eden Mirrors NFT Optimism

According to the post shared by Jack Lu, the platform’s recent scaling of the $50 million sales mark mirrors high hopes for the global NFT community as it showcases the gradual yet significant growth witnessed by NFTs over the past few years.

Meanwhile, in his social media post, Lu spotlighted Tiexo’s (an NFT data analytics platform) top marketplaces list, drawing attention to Magic Eden topping the list with 47.64% market share, evaluated as $52.24 million.

Notably, Tiexo’s list also sheds light on the second-largest CryptoPunk sale recorded, mirroring the optimism orbiting this burgeoning NFT adoption saga.
