Closing Thoughts
It’s a low volume stretch across art.
Something that becomes glaring during these times are marketplace inefficiencies. The last 5 Beeple INTO THE ETHER editions to trade were 6.95, 7, 7.89, 9, and 11.85 ETH, in that ascending order, all within two weeks. Lowest list had moved to 12.99 ETH across OpenSea and Magic Eden.
Within the past 24 hours, one moves for $15,000 into an offer on Nifty Gateway. That is >$1k less than even the first of the five trending sales above. If you’re motivated to collect something, understanding where it is available and when to leverage offers creates opportunities.
