Quick Facts
- Tensor said on Twitter that it had a 24-hour trading volume of 108,073 SOL ($2.424 million). This accounted for 46.9% of the combined trading volume of the top five marketplaces on the Solana blockchain.
- Tensor’s reign as Solana’s main NFT marketplace was short-lived, as Magic Eden reclaimed the spot on Wednesday night. Magic Eden had a trading volume of 104,820 SOL in the 24 hours to 8pm in Hong Kong, while Tensor registered 100,000 SOL, according to data from Solana tracker Tiexo.
- Transactions on both marketplaces were dominated by Mad Lads, a Solana-based NFT collection that launched last Friday. It registered more than $1.85 million in secondary sales in the past 24 hours, making it the most traded collection in all blockchains, according to CryptoSlam, the data arm of Fort Labs.
- During that time frame, nearly 56,000 SOL worth of Mad Lads tokens were traded on Tensor, while Magic Eden had about 36,000 SOL, according to Tiexo data.
- Activity on Tensor started picking up significantly last month after it launched an airdrop as part of its rewards program, a strategy similar to what Ethereum NFT marketplace Blur recently deployed to attract customers from OpenSea.
- The Forkast SOL Composite, a measure of Solana NFT’s market performance, rose 0.24% in the 24 hours to 8 p.m. in Hong Kong on Wednesday.
