CryptoPunks Maintains NFT Market Supremacy with 30.9% Dominance in October 2024

According to the latest data from CoinGecko, CryptoPunks continues to lead the NFT market in terms of price performance. As of October 2024, the profile picture (PFP) NFT collection boasts an impressive 30.9% market dominance, solidifying its position as the top NFT project.

CryptoPunks has maintained this dominant standing since overtaking Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) in May 2023. The collection’s staying power is particularly noteworthy given the highly competitive nature of the NFT space, with new projects constantly vying for attention.

notably, BAYC has been experiencing a gradual decline in market share over the past two years. From a high of 29.3% in January 2022, the collection’s market dominance has dropped to just 12.8% in October 2024.

Similarly, Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) has also seen its market share halved during the same period, going from 8.5% to 4.1%. Both collections, once considered the standard-bearers in the PFP NFT niche, are now facing increasing competition from newer entrants in the rapidly evolving NFT market.

One such competitor is Pudgy Penguins, which has been gaining substantial traction since debuting in the top 10 in September 2023. At that time, the collection claimed a 2.7% market dominance, achieving steady floor prices even during a broader NFT market downturn.

Fast-forward to October 2024, and Pudgy Penguins now commands a 9.5% market share. This remarkable growth trajectory, which has seen the collection more than triple its market dominance over the past year, is a testament to its enduring popularity among NFT enthusiasts.
