Since MVHQ opened its doors to the public back in July, we have posted Daily Recaps for all of our members to read. These have provided updates that help paint a picture of the happenings of the surrounding NFT climate.

While our Daily Recap will remain a pivotal value add to our members inside the server, we will now be releasing an unfiltered Weekly Recap.

These will combine all of the daily posts into one and will provide an opportunity to reflect on the week that was.

Monday, 1/10

A substantial dip in volume today as we finished almost 40% under yesterdays highs, closing at a still healthy $169 million in OpenSea transactions. With the new LooksRare marketplace still stabilizing it will be interesting to see the volume numbers and their impact to OS as we move forward.

  • PhantaBears (5.79E floor, 3500E vol) continued to see massive volume, as did CryptoSkulls (.7E, 2100E vol) and ArtBlocks (2328E vol). LinksDAO (.96E, +183%) was the big floor gainer today, while Bored Bunny (1.37E, +37%), Superlative Apes (.93E, +144%), Meebits (3.95E, +16%) and Nuclear Nerds (.3E, +25%) also had solid green days.
  • LooksRare, a new NFT Marketplace on the Ethereum blockchain, launched overnight while also introducing the $LOOKS token which was claimable based on the amount of OpenSea activity a wallet had between 6/16 to 12/16. The marketplace aims to provide rewards to traders through a staking mechanic with stakers earning 100% of trading fees. All post-launch details can be found here: https://docs.looksrare.org/blog/launch-post
  • Book Games, a project by Gary Vee and Vee Friends, released their marketplace earlier today. Book Games tokens were made claimable based off the number of books purchased a few months ago and is hosted on Immutable X. Secondary action picked up throughout the night with floors now holding at .18E with over 15k holders. All details can be found here: https://veefriends.com/book-games
  • Art Blocks Curated: Chimera, by artist @mpkoz sold out its 987 supply collection at a Dutch Auction price of 2.4E. The art represents a “mutation of genetics merging” and saw heavy secondary volume with a few 20E+ sales. Floor currently sits at 2.7E on 2.2E traded with 731 holders. https://opensea.io/assets/chimera-by-mpkoz
  • CryptoRaiders discovered a vulnerability in their LPs. Thankfully, it has not been exploited. However, this means you’ll need to unstake your LP position and restake it here to start earning rewards again: https://econ.cryptoraiders.xyz/staking. Also, there is a UI bug in their quest page, and you’ll need to end the quest for your raiders by tomorrow in order to receive the Grimweed and experience earned. They have a more in-depth explanation about both instances in their latest announcement on discord. (ty @JakeAndBake)
  • CryptoSkulls, a historical collection from 2019 that claims to be the 2nd 10k project behind only CryptoPunks, sustained a humongous overnight pump with the help of tweets from Gary Vee and Medved with big buys from a variety of influencers. Initial sales early on could be had in the .05-.1E range with floors eventually seeing 1E sales. Current floor is holding firm in the .7E range on over 2100E volume in a very short amount of time. An old fashioned night crew cook.

Tuesday, 1/11

Opensea closed out the day bringing in $176 milliion in volume which was an incremental uptick over yesterday’s pace. Much more interestingly, the new LooksRare marketplace did a whopping $322 million in volume, most of which can be attributed to wash sales of people trying to take advantage of the platforms reward system (see below for more details.)

  • Doodles (11.88E, +13.47%) saw another nice floor pop today, officially putting some distance between them and Cool Cats (10.6E, -3%). The OxyaOriginProject (1.5E, 11%) saw some sustained pre reveal momentum, while Jadu Hoverboards (1.22E, +322%) were the day’s biggest floor gainer on the back of news regarding Sandbox implementation.
  • LooksRare NFT Marketplace has taken in over $320 million in volume over its first 24 hours. While the platform did flip Opensea in total volume for the day, some of that can be attributed to alleged occurrence of wash trades. Advisor and Twitter personality, Dingaling, tweeted this thread to add insight into whats going on. https://twitter.com/dingalingts/status/1481135479940874241?s=20
