Bitcoin's $8M NFT Flex: When BRC-20s Decide to Show Off While Everyone Else Just Hangs Around

The NFT market has been absolutely buzzing this week, with some absolutely absurd transfers making the rounds across multiple blockchains. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Arbitrum are currently sitting pretty at the top of the weekly NFT sales leaderboard, according to data from CryptoSlam. Rounding out the crew we have Polygon, Flow, Cardano, Avalanche, Base, Solana, and BNB Chain—all proving that the NFT party isn't just a one-chain rager, but rather a decentralized festival where everyone's invited but nobody's quite sure who's actually having fun.

Leading the charge is the Bitcoin network-based "$X@AI BRC-20 NFTs" collection, where NFT "#b68e5…ffci0" fetched a cool $8,097,669 about 5 days ago. Yeah, you read that right. Someone dropped eight figures on a BRC-20 NFT on Bitcoin. Let that sink in. Meanwhile, over on Ethereum, the "Flying Tulip PUT $NFT" collection's "#5257" managed a respectable $419,384 for second place. Not too shabby, but clearly Bitcoin's having none of that underdog energy this week.

Taking the third spot is the Arbitrum-based "Algebra Positions $NFT -V2" collection, with NFT "#2429" pulling in $57,991 nearly a week ago. Polygon showed up next with the "Courtyard" collection's "#65423…77127," netting roughly $18,000 just 20 hours back.

The Flow blockchain made its presence known through "NBA Top Short," where NFT "#100402" sold for $16,500 six days ago. Cardano's contribution came via the "#asset1akx…" NFT, which collected $15,496. Avalanche got in on the action with "Pangolin V3 Positions $NFT" and its #13690 selling for $15,440.

Base chimed in with the "0xbb5…" collection's "#14223" at $10,500.
