NiftyNoon: This is XCOPY’s NFT Market - We Just Collect In It ❎©📈
Multiple XCOPY collections have seen significant gains in floor price and transaction volume over the past few weeks signaling the return of “XCOPY season” (May 5, 2025)
Nifty Thought:
Multiple XCOPY collections have seen significant gains in floor price and transaction volume over the past few weeks signaling the return of “XCOPY season”. Widely respected as the creator of NFT glitch art, XCOPY’s work was not immune from the NFT downturn over the past few years but a recent surge in sales may signify a turning point for how the market prices the seminal artist’s work.
XCOPY’s quintessential profile picture, Grifters, surged to a 20 ETH floor price making it amongst the most value profile pictures in the market. Similarly, his more traditional art pieces have been moving significantly as well. In a major move, collector Benji (@8888Benji) acquired the rare 'The Doomed (black & green)' directly from XCOPY, completing the highly sought-after KnownOrigin 'The Doomed' edition set. This deal involved multiple XCOPY artworks and solidified Benji's place as one of only three collectors to achieve this feat.
Although this spike in recent activity is exciting and warranted for such a talented artist, past NFT price action suggests that sharp pumps are often short lived. Over time, these gains tend to bleed out as attention shifts away to other opportunities in the market. With this in mind, it may be worthwhile for collectors focused on financial performance to de-risk out of some XCOPY pieces during this elevated period of interest. Of course, genuine collectors purchasing pieces for the sake of ownership need not to exit any positions and can simply relish in the increased attention this celebrated artist is now receiving.
