Coinbase, Nifty Island and Nyan Heroes

The non-fungible token (NFT) is seeing another mixed day with NFT news varying in sentiment.

Sales volume was down 13% over the past 24 hours at the time of writing and is currently at $42,893,676.

NFT transactions have seen a 9% drop in the same period. And while sellers are down 3.5%, buyers are up nearly 10%.

MintID is the best performer among the top 10 collections by sales volume. It went up 382% in a day to $2.2 million. The second-best Mutant Ape Yacht Club increased 74% to $949,433.

CryptoUndeads, though taking the first place among the top 10, has also seen the largest drop in volume: 72% to $2.3 million. Pudgy Penguins follow it with a 49% drop to $2 million.

Decreased sales volume certainly hasn’t slowed down the NFT news mill.

Today in NFT news, read about Coinbase NFTs’ new AI-powered feature, the Nifty Island’s open beta, and Nyan Heroes’ early access play-to-airdrop and its first airdrop quiz.
