Set 071 Is a Zoo

Opepen Set 071 reveals, and 'Zoopepen' sees a surge of attention with 20 sales for 41.38 ETH total (avg: 2.069 ETH).

How did this set come about?

Via its description:
"Zoopepen is a community-built set. It started with people spontaneously posting Opepen animal variations on the X-timeline. These pieces were further refined and added to by about thirty artists in a group chat and a large shared Figma file. Voting, iteration, and much deletion took place to arrive at a cohesive set of 80 Opepen animals."

The overall 'Opepen Edition' Collection by Jack Butcher | Visualize Value sees 62 additional sales for 20.49 ETH, with its current list at 0.23 ETH.

SAINT_LESS (Waves) by XCOPY



RD Report

No chill in the XCOPY market right now. The most interesting thing about this one in my eyes is how it steamrolled right through a period of volatility, typically a freeze for art. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that this in itself is bullish, just that it's different from what we are used to. The activity itself must be balanced with its re-pricing in USD terms.

No chill for The Memes either! They continue to hold the 0.05 - 0.06 ETH list level, which is a marvel.


Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of 3 ETH+ Collection, 0.25 ETH+ 1/1, 0.5 ETH+ 1/1/X, and 0.3 ETH+ Edition

Monday: The DAM Show!

Join us tomorrow (Monday) at 12:00pm ET live on X as we welcome artist Andrea Chiampo and curator An Loremi to begin the show, followed by a segment with artist Skilux.
