NiftyNoon: Memeland Mania

The market heats up on the mint day for Memeland Captainz (January 4, 2023)

Nifty Thought

• The Memeland Captainz mint will likely be the largest mint for the foreseeable future. Many people are praising 9Gag CEO and sentiment surrounding the project is overwhelmingly positive. With many NFT collections across the board seeing elevated floor prices, the performance of Memeland Captainz may solidify the return of a miniature NFT bull market. All eyes are on Memeland’s secondary market volume and price action.

• The spectacular success (130 ETH market cap upon mint out) of Penguitt’s Class of 2022 open edition reveals some interesting facts about the current NFT market and open editions as a whole. Editions, which are often viewed as fractionalized 1/1s, seem to be consistently commanding valuation premiums in this market as a result of higher liquidity and social utility. Collectively owning art with others seems to create a social experience that actually contributes tangible value to editions that would not otherwise exist if they were simply 1/1s.
