Closing Thoughts
Art maxi, chain multi.
2024 begins with strong highlights across BTC, SOL, and ETH. Ripcache led volume with a surprise BTC swarm_, then saw the attention carry over to 1/1 ETH art. Both Rip and Cath Simard (SOL release of Day 1) saw active secondary markets.
Outside of the highlights, 2024 is taking its time shaking off the holiday (and tax loss harvesting) slumber. 1/1 and edition art was fairly muted and 1/1/X had a few scattered highlights.
24 Hours of Art Update:
Seeing artists pick up the ART iconography and run with it has been thrilling! It’s created a collective energy to the 2024 launch. Over the past 24 hours, Rebecca Rose kicked off the NY with a bang and MBSJQ posted ‘INSPIRE’.
The Mint:
Day by day the group gathering within the 1/1/366 mint is nothing short of incredible. Not even a week in, 138/366 remain.
Live Today:
Now: Happy Birthday Bryan Brinkman and NYDoorman!
