Ape NFT collections’ dominance in the premium landscape

While this was not the first time that the MAYC NFT collection saw such extraordinary response. The Mutant Ape Collection was launched in the beginning of September this year and it experienced a staggering response from the investors. Just in an hour of the launch, Yuga Labs sold an outstanding amount of 10,000 Mutant Ape NFTs to new buyers thereby generating more than $96 million worth of ETH in a single hour.

Furthermore, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) along with the Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), and Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) have outperformed this year, securing their place in the premium NFT collection market. In the last month of August, all the three collections combined amassed over 170,000 ETH, i.e., $644 million of the trading volume.
