The cryptocurrency and NFT market is witnessing a new trend with the introduction of $PUNKS, a token associated with the CryptoPunks NFTs, now available on the Solana blockchain with a $300k market cap. This move aims to provide exposure to the CryptoPunks ecosystem for those who cannot afford the high prices of CryptoPunks NFTs, which have a floor price of 42 ETH, significantly higher than $PUNKS. By comparison, $PUNKS is a 40x from $GOBLINTOWN, with Goblin NFT floor at 0.2 ETH. The market cap of $PUNKS is barely above the floor price of just one CryptoPunk, sparking discussions among investors about its potential for growth versus other NFT projects like GoblinTown at $1.4M MC. Some enthusiasts, considering selling their high-value CryptoPunks, like CryptoPunk #2323, to invest in the entire supply of $PUNKS, highlight the speculative nature of the market. The community around CryptoPunks is also creating a meme coin to further integrate into the NFT ecosystem, with ambitious goals for $PUNKS to surpass other projects in market cap. Recently, based punks have gone from a 0.008 ETH mint to a 0.5 ETH floor, indicating rising interest.
