The total market value of NFTs has risen back above $6 billion, reaching its highest level since early February
PANews reported on July 21 that according to The Block, Coingecko data showed that the total market value of the global NFT market has risen to US$6.04 billion, up 16.9% in the past 24 hours, reaching its highest level since early February. In addition, data from CryptoSlam showed that in the past 24 hours, global NFT market sales surged 154% to US$41.4 million. It is worth noting that according to OpenSea, the giant whale with the address "0x1bb351...72d6" spent more than 2,080 ETH today to purchase 45 CryptoPunks NFTs. In the past 24 hours, the CryptoPunks floor price rose 15.9% to 47.5 NFTs.
Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, said that when Bitcoin was consolidating, altcoins such as Ethereum and the NFT market gained momentum due to overall gains and a rebound in risk appetite. Traders have rekindled their interest in mainstream NFT projects such as CryptoPunks, believing that their prices are undervalued and may usher in a second wave of market conditions, and that this round of bull market may exceed last year's short-term rebound. However, Vincent Liu, chief investment officer of Kronos Research, believes that the long-term demand for NFTs depends on the activity of wallets.

Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
