This week’s Boardroom NFT Sales Roundup includes DigiDaigaku, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, and more.
NFT sales are down globally, and fan token sales are sliding despite the current, crowded spot in the professional sports calendar. CryptoSlam’s data show that over 169,500 buyers spent more than $82.6 million on NFTs in the past seven days, which is down 3.5% compared to the previous week. Overall, NFT action is down 23%, with roughly 817,300 transactions. Projects like Sorare, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, and Gods Unchained brought in the most sales attention this week.
