Macro backdrop
ETH held at $2,187 (+0.59% in 24 hours), with a tight intraday range of $2,168–$2,197. 1 The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sat at 42/100 (Fear zone), reflecting broader market wariness without panic selling. Across all NFT collections tracked by NFTPriceFloor, the aggregate market cap reached approximately $2.57 billion (+2.46% in 24 hours), with $2.59 million in total 24-hour trading volume across 23,362 individual sales. 2
CryptoPunks — +6.17%, 553 ETH volume, native market dominance
CryptoPunks (the 2017 Larva Labs originals, 10,000 supply) posted the strongest 24-hour gain across all five collections: floor up 6.17% to 32.89 ETH (~$71,978). 5 On OpenSea, 24-hour volume reached 553 ETH — roughly 7× BAYC's volume and 7× Pudgy Penguins'. 6
Notable sales on OpenSea in the window included #8336 at 50.00 ETH, #8632 at 45.00 ETH, and #4777 at 35.00 ETH. 7 The 7-day high sits at 79.50 ETH and the 7-day average at 36.46 ETH, suggesting the current floor is near the lower end of recent realized prices. 5
Two structural notes for signal evaluation:
- Blur: zero activity. CryptoPunks showed 0 listings and no trading on Blur, consistent with the collection trading primarily on its native Larva Labs marketplace and OpenSea. 8 The OpenSea listing rate stands at 10.8% (~1,079 items listed), high relative to BAYC (3.3%) — but those listings represent OpenSea-specific supply and don't reflect native market depth.
- Ownership concentration. Unique holders: 3,828 (38.3% of supply) — the lowest among all five collections. 6 With ~2.6 Punks held per owner on average, the floor can move quickly when a small number of holders adjust their asks.
Bored Ape Yacht Club — floor steady, whale activity dominant
BAYC floor held at 9.788 ETH (-0.12%), with a best bid of 9.45 WETH — a 3.5% spread. 9 The 24-hour volume figure diverges noticeably across venues: 80.26 ETH on OpenSea 10 versus 98.80 ETH on Blur 9, reflecting different order flow routing between the two platforms. Combined, the 7D change sits at -6.51%.
The standout trade of the entire 24-hour window across all five collections: BAYC #793 sold for 140.00 WETH (~$306,000) on OpenSea approximately 16 hours before the data capture. 11 That's 14.3× above floor, indicating either a rare trait premium or a conviction buy from wallet #856. Outside that outlier, nine additional BAYC sales cleared 10+ ETH on OpenSea, and two Blur sales were confirmed on-chain: #9044 at 11.11 ETH (13.5% above floor) 9 and #809 at 9.89 ETH (1.04% above floor). 9
Listing depth across both venues runs at 3.1–3.3% of supply. 910 NFTPriceFloor put the 24-hour volume at 73.35 ETH (+76.58% vs. prior 24 hours), driven by 7 completed sales. 12
For 30-day context: BAYC's floor roughly doubled from ~5 ETH in mid-April to above 10 ETH by May 10, 2026. Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge attributed the move to a correction from overselling, saying: "It's clear from the numbers that for some time, as far as blue-chip digital collectibles go, it was oversold." 13 At today's ~9.79 ETH, the floor has pulled back slightly from the 10+ ETH peak but remains near double the April trough.
Pudgy Penguins — only collection positive on both venues, but PENGU token diverges
Pudgy Penguins (8,888 supply, smallest of the five) is the only collection showing a positive 24-hour floor move on both OpenSea (+2.6% to 4.8299 ETH 14) and Blur (+2.36% to 4.82 ETH 15). Blur 24-hour volume of 107.38 ETH was the highest across all five collections on that venue. 15
The holder structure stands out: 57% unique ownership rate with only 1.47–2.5% of supply listed across venues. 1416 The only above-floor notable sale visible was #1872 at 9.04 ETH. 17 Most trades clustered in the 4.6–4.9 ETH range, tight around the floor.
One divergence to track: the PENGU token (Pudgy Penguins' associated ecosystem token) dropped 5.08% in 24 hours to ~$0.0086, triggered by a scheduled $5.93 million token unlock on May 16. 18 Short setups emerged publicly at the $0.0084–$0.0088 range as price broke below recent support. The NFT floor and token price are moving in opposite directions today. According to analysis from KuCoin Research (via AInvest), this reflects distinct participant groups — traders seeking liquid exposure use tokens while collectors hold the NFTs for long-term IP scarcity. 19
The underlying business drivers that have supported the floor — physical toys sold through Walmart and Target with QR-code digital rewards, Pudgy World browser game surpassing 1 million active users, and licensing deals including DreamWorks — remain unchanged. 19
Azuki — steepest drop, volume surge on the sell side
Azuki (10,000 supply, launched January 2022 by TeamAzuki) posted the worst performance of the five: floor down 9.21–10.23% to 0.911–0.92 ETH across venues. 202122 The 7-day decline is -16.40% on Blur. The volume move is notable: OpenSea 24-hour volume rose to 14.48 ETH (+32.45% vs. prior period) 23 and Blur to 19.78 ETH 22 — volume expanding while price falls is consistent with sell-side absorption. No single sale above 1.66 WETH was recorded. 23
Listing depth on Blur reached 456 items (4.6% of supply, highest count among all five collections), with one wallet (51262b) carrying 6 listings priced at 0.9499 ETH — 4.3% above floor. 22 Wallets 994b47 and 999994 placed rapid-fire bids on #1083 and #3977 at 0.9645 ETH with bid-cancel-rebid cycles consistent with algorithmic activity; these were bid placements, not confirmed on-chain sales. 22
One potential upside catalyst: Azuki Elementals (a companion collection, 14,000 supply) floor rose 10.98% to 1.55 ETH in the same 24-hour window, with 206.6 ETH in volume across 115 sales, on the announcement of the ANIME token TGE (token generation event). 24 Reports from the same reporting window indicate the original Azuki was up 17% at some point during the day, suggesting the ANIME TGE announcement may be creating intraday moves that the closing 14:00 ET snapshot doesn't fully capture. Whether that catalyst translates into sustained floor support for the original Azuki remains to be seen in tomorrow's data.
Doodles — lowest volume, sweep-style bids unconfirmed
Doodles (9,998 supply, launched October 2021) remains the smallest blue-chip by floor cap at $10.5 million. 25 Floor slipped 4.44–4.5% to 0.4767 ETH (~$1,046). 2627 The 24-hour volume across both venues totaled ~7.5 ETH, the lowest among the five. All trades clustered between 0.46 and 0.56 ETH, with no sale exceeding 0.55 WETH. 28 The 7-day decline is -17.38%.
Listing depth is relatively tight at 2.6–2.7% of supply across venues — the second-lowest after Pudgy Penguins — yet the floor is still drifting lower, suggesting sellers are gradually lowering asks without sufficient buyer absorption. The best bid of 0.47 WETH is just 1.5% below floor, providing thin cushion. 27
On Blur, wallet 0x195F46 placed aggressive bids on 7 Doodles items (#9878, #7732, #8765, #7601, #6590, #348, #9591) within approximately 2 minutes, with bid prices ranging from 0.59 ETH to 6.96 ETH. 27 These are bid placements only — no on-chain transactions were confirmed, so this does not constitute a confirmed sweep. It may reflect accumulation interest, or could be a probing strategy to gauge liquidity without committing capital.
No collection-specific news or announcements were found for Doodles in the May 10–17 window. The most recent major Doodles event was the DOOD token launch on Solana in May 2025. 29
Cross-marketplace notes
OpenSea and Blur floor prices for all four collections where Blur has active listings are aligned within 0.2%, confirming efficient arbitrage between the two venues. The structural difference — Blur charges 0% creator royalties while OpenSea enforces royalties — does not appear to be creating a meaningful floor price gap in today's data. CryptoPunks trades exclusively on OpenSea and the native Larva Labs market, with zero Blur presence. Magic Eden ETH collection pages returned 404 errors for all five collections and provided no usable data.
