October 2024 data highlights CryptoPunks’ impressive grip on the NFT market, commanding a substantial 30.9% share and solidifying its lead among the top NFT collections.
CryptoPunks has held this dominant position since overtaking Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) in May 2023, underscoring its staying power in a highly competitive space.
Once a powerhouse, BAYC has been steadily losing market share over the past two years, dropping from 29.3% in January 2022 to just 12.8% in October 2024. The Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), BAYC’s related collection, has followed a similar trend, seeing its dominance cut in half from 8.5% to 4.1% within the same period. Both collections, which once set the standard in the profile picture (PFP) NFT niche, now face increased competition from newer entrants.
One such competitor is Pudgy Penguins, which has gained substantial traction since its debut in the top 10 in September 2023. At that time, the collection claimed a 2.7% market share, achieving steady floor prices during a broader NFT market downturn. Fast-forward to October 2024, and Pudgy Penguins now commands a 9.5% share, reflecting a growth trajectory that has more than tripled over the past year.
