NFT markets rebound after $1.2B wipeout in Friday’s crypto crash

Top Ethereum NFT collections like BAYC, Pudgy Penguins and CryptoPunks remain in the red despite a partial market recovery after Friday’s crypto market crash.

The non-fungible token (NFT) market showed early signs of recovery after a steep sell-off wiped out about $1.2 billion in market capitalization during the crypto market crash on Friday. 

According to CoinGecko data, the sector’s overall valuation fell from $6.2 billion on Friday to $5 billion on Saturday. This erased almost 20%, or about $1.2 billion, in market capitalization for digital collectibles across all blockchain networks.
