Quick Take

Chart of the Week

Solana Monkey Business (SMB) led the NFT market this week with $5.9 million in sales, contributing to Solana’s total weekly NFT sales of $28 million — a 19% increase week over week. This surge positioned Solana as the second highest-grossing blockchain in NFT sales, ahead of both Bitcoin and Polygon. 

SMB, bolstered by its community platform MonkeDAO, plays a key role in the Solana ecosystem. MonkeDAO’s collaboration with Torque Protocol for the Blinks Gen 3 giveaway highlights its commitment to embracing new innovations on Solana like Blinks. The launch of spot Ethereum ETFs on 23 July also garnered speculation about similar financial products for Solana, increasing interest in the blockchain and boosting demand for Solana-based NFTs. Solana collections DogeZuki and Retardio Cousins generated $3.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, both securing spots in the top 5 NFT collections for the week.
