Royalties To NFT Projects On Ethereum Reach 699,816 ETH

  • Research by Nansen revealed that royalties to NFT projects on Ethereum totaled 699,816 ETH.
  • The lifetime NFT royalties are valued at $1.8 billion, with the majority of them paid out last year.
  • The royalties witnessed a decline in 2023, despite NFT volumes similar to last year.

The total royalties paid out to NFT projects on Ethereum have reached 699,816 ETH, which is roughly $1.29 billion. Deranzxc, an analyst for on-chain analytics firm Nansen, shared his in-depth on-chain research into NFT royalties and other trends in the broader NFT market.

Nansen took to Twitter earlier to share the results of deranzxc’s on-chain research, which revealed that 699,816 ETH had been disbursed to NFT artists as royalties. According to Nansen, the conversion rate takes into account the price of Ether at the time of the NFTs’ sale, which values the lifetime royalties at a whopping $1.8 billion.

Of the total royalties, 25.9% or 181,252 ETH were paid in 2021. The majority of the royalties were disbursed last year, with more than 64% of the nearly 700,000 ETH paid out. The royalties paid in 2023 accounted for 9.4% of the lifetime amount.

According to Nansen, royalties received by NFT projects and artists this year are far lower than the previous years, despite the NFT volume being similar to that of 2022. The year-to-date (YTD) metrics showed that 2023 has already recorded 50.6% of the sales that occurred last year. But the royalties earned from those sales only amounted to 14.7% of 2022’s figure.

The Nansen analyst further highlighted that the effective fee rate for royalties had trended downwards, from an average of 2.5% last year to 0.6% as of July 2023. Of all the royalties paid to NFT projects so far, Yuga Labs collectively received 9.4%. Yuga Labs is the web3 firm behind leading NFT projects such as Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC).

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst. In a Twitter post, Deutscher highlighted the reasons behind his prediction. I think $PEPE outperforms $DOGE next cycle. Why? • The Underwater Thesis: Less PEPE holders underwater vs DOGE, meaning less sell pressure on the way up + lower multiples to reach previous ATH (2.8x vs 12x). • People are more fatigued with the DOGE meme, Pepe feels fresher… — Miles Deutscher (@milesdeutscher) June 23, 2023 Deutscher’s first reason for supporting PEPE to outperform DOGE in the next cycle is what he called “The Underwater Thesis.” He noted fewer PEPE holders are “underwater” compared to DOGE holders. By that, he me...
