NFT NodeMonkes Breaks Sales Record At Digital Art Market

JAKARTA - NodeMonkes appeared as a new phenomenon. Ordinary or commonly known as Bitcoin's NFT managed to record an amazing sale, with total sales volume of more than $11.4 million (around Rp180 billion), an achievement that has never occurred since its debut in 2023.

As additional information, NodeMonkes is a unique NFT collection (Non-Fungible Token) because it is listed on the Bitcoin blockchain commonly called Ordinarys. NodeMonkes was launched in December 2023 and became popular because it was one of the initial collections that used the Ordinary protocol. This digital artwork attracted the attention of investors and collectors because of its uniqueness and scarcity.

NodeMonkes, a collection containing 10,000 unique pixel images, was in the spotlight as Bitcoin hit a price of $65,000 (around Rp1.02 billion) today. This increase sparked a huge spike in sales for NodeMonkes, marking this collection as one of the most popular in the market.

NodeMonke Sold For More Than $1 Million

Reporting from CoinSpeller, an eye-catching transaction occurred when a crypto trader bought NodeMonke with the nickname 'Alian Hoodie' for 17 BTC, which is worth more than $1 million. This digital artwork is sold at Magic Eden, a Solana-based NFT marketplace, indicating high interest from collectors.

This phenomenon not only reflects the latest trends in the crypto world but also shows the great potential of blockchain technology in the digital art industry. With NodeMonkes, the Bitcoin-based NFT market saw an increase in trading volume, which reached around US$35 million (around Rp552 billion), surpassing Ethereum which recorded around US$24 million (around Rp378 billion).

This shows a new trend in which Bitcoin is starting to dominate the NFT market previously controlled by Ethereum. NodeMonkes has proven itself to be an NFT collection that is not only unique but is also in great demand.
