Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & more!
Dear Bankless Nation,
Below, behold a fini whose mood tracks the weekly price of ETH.
Its exuberance is also tracking the moods of many in crypto this week. That’s because bullish chatter’s ramped up again with the BTC price and the ETH price having just ripped up 19% and 14% respectively on the 7D charts.
We’re so back, at least for now.
Yet while crypto may have finally bottomed, many NFT floors are lower than we’ve seen in a long time. If you’ve been meaning to make some buys, consider that NFTs might be on the verge of bottoming out, too.
It’s a potential rotation moment, that’s all I’m saying. For now let’s dive into the weekly NFT roundup, thanks for reading everyone. Have a great weekend! ✌️

👉 Immutable: Your gateway to the web3 gaming revolution ✨
Over the past week, the floor-based market cap of the NFT space shrunk from 7.81 million ETH to 7.62 million ETH for a ~2.4% decline. The drop’s not surprising, seeing as how the ETH price’s up 14% over the same span. In other words, the majors — namely BTC and ETH — just dominated most of the cryptoeconomy’s buy action this week.
