Superplastic has its own NFT success story
While Superplastic is partnering with one of the biggest names in the NFT space, it is not new to nonfungible tokens. The company has its own NFT success story to be proud of.
Last year in July, the Superplastin floated its first NFT collection.
The project, Cryptojankyz, has since traded nearly 5.6000 ETH on OpenSea, which amounts to nearly $19 million in fiat currency. At the time of writing, the floor price of the NFTs in the collection is 1.5 ETH.
Holders of Cryptojankyz NFTs will also receive free airdrops starting January 18. Superplastic will release its second NFT series called Headtripz.
“Buy, trade, and burn your Pillz, take a trip, and claim freshly minted HEADTRIPZ NFTs! To participate you must hold at least one CRYPTOJANKY NFT in your wallet,”
the company announced.
A few lucky randomly selected holders will receive special GAWDTRIPZ NFTs created by super amazing celebs & artists including Gucci Ghost, Paris Hilton, Jim Jones, Iann Dior, and many-many more, according to the announcement.
Bored Ape Yacht Club recently flipped Cryptopunks to become the highest traded NFT collection. In the last 24 hours, OpenSea has registered over 3,000 ETH worth of transactions in BAYC, alone. If one counts all the other projects in the Ape Family, including Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, that number would be much higher.
With the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT toys ready to hit the market soon, the sales of the project could potentially skyrocket even further.
