Bitcoin NFT sales rocketed 80% week-over-week to $168.5 million, with three of the top five best-selling NFT collections for the week being Bitcoin Ordinals-based. Ethereum only drew in $162 million in sales, according to CryptoSlam! data.Bitcoin led on sales over the week despite seeing half as many buyers compared to Ethereum. Source: CryptoSlam!


Ordinals launched in January 2023 and provided the tools to create NFT-like assets by giving users to ability to insert files, such as an image, into satoshis (sats) — the smallest unit of Bitcoin.


Uncategorized Ordinals (not part of any collection) drew in the most sales, with over $43 million worth sold across more than 47,000 transactions.


A close second was the Bitcoin-based collection NodeMonkes, with over $41 million in sales, a nearly 170% increase from the week prior.

NodeMonkes is a collection of 10,000 unique pixelated profile picture (PFP)-style Ordinals launched in December and claims to be the first 10,000-strong collection on Bitcoin.


Other 10,000 count Ordinals collections had launched prior, but the NodeMonkes team had etched their collection onto the blockchain in February 2023, just a month after Ordinals launched.

It’s unclear exactly why the collection has gained its recent attention.


NFT collection GRAYCRAFT founder Kevin Wu wrote in a Feb. 22 X post that NodeMonkes has “meaningful provenance” as it’s the first PFP-style NFT collection on “the first chain ever” — giving it a “great competing narrative” which speculative investors could now be buying into.
