The NFT Wave on Bitcoin: Riding High
It seems like the Bitcoin community is throwing a wild party, and guess who just showed up? NFTs! As the second-largest blockchain for NFTs, Bitcoin is making waves, with a staggering $167.47 million in NFT sales over the last 30 days. Not bad for a digital currency that’s mostly known for being a digital gold, right?
Outpacing the Competition
While Bitcoin might still be trailing Ethereum’s jaw-dropping sales of $395.95 million, it’s well ahead of the rest of the field. Let’s not forget Solana and Mythos Chain, which barely managed to scrap together $55.8 million and $35.4 million, respectively. Looks like Bitcoin has left them in the dust!
Spotlight on Popular NFT Collections
What’s fueling this NFT revolution on Bitcoin, you ask? It’s all about the collections! Leading the pack is the Bitcoin Ordinals collection, pulling in an impressive $26.3 million. Following in its tasty wake are Space Pepes and Bitcoin Frogs, raking in $12.24 million and $9.43 million each. Talk about hopping to success!
StepN Takes a Giant Leap with Apple Pay
This digital playground isn’t just about NFTs though. Enter StepN, the blockchain-based app that just sealed the deal with Apple Pay. Thanks to its innovative move-to-earn model, users can now convert their everyday hustle into crypto tokens without the fuss of setting up a separate wallet. That’s like getting paid for your daily jogs—without the hassle!
Downside? The Apple Tax!
But fair warning: there’s always a catch, right? By integrating with Apple, StepN might fall under the infamous 30% Apple Tax on transactions. Will the revenue still shine bright? Only time will tell!
