The Moonbirds non-fungible-token collection surged roughly 25% in the past 24 hours, lifting its floor price to about 2.62 Ether and extending a 30-day rally of more than 300%, according to data from CoinGecko and NFT marketplace Rarible. The jump propelled Moonbirds’ implied market capitalization to about $123 million, pushing the project into CoinGecko’s top-10 NFT rankings and vaulting it ahead of rival collections Azuki and Milady Maker in both floor price and market value. Market participants attributed the move to Moonbirds’ expected appearance on Kaito’s pre-token-generation leaderboard, a listing that has previously preceded token launches for other high-profile NFT projects. While the project’s creator has not confirmed plans for a dedicated coin, the prospect has stoked fresh demand for the owl-themed avatars, which had lagged the broader market earlier this year.
