Weekend Recap 10/21–10/23

Weekend volume hit a new local low with closings under $8 million for both Saturday and Sunday, but that still didn’t stop a relative buzz in the air with some pockets of activity. StreetMachine led the charge with its much anticipated reveal on almost 500E in volume. A big congrats to the Ramble Rouser himself RyanH for pulling a super sexy 1/1.

Starcatchers also saw nice action on rumors of a potential buyout or leadership change, while OtherDeeds find themselves treading some water after a large dump occurred when LooksRare changed its listing rewards. Lastly, a big congratulations to JJ for pulling down a huge $20,000 payday playing Reignmakers on Sunday. ETH ping-ponged as prices briefly touched under $1300 only to bounce back into its current $1330 range.
