Most Expensive NFTs This Week: 06 – 12 November

Another busy week in the NFT world comes to a close. The top collections in the market saw a jump in trading volume, traders, and sales. In fact, Art Blocks recorded a 250.52% rise in trading volume. While Axie Infinity, CryptoPunks, and BAYC led the game, Sandbox and CrypToadz failed to impress.

• Official Star Wars NFTs drop on VeVe’s Disney Golden Moments featuring iconic characters C-3PO and R2-D2.
• The biggest NFT marketplace OpenSea crossed the $10-billion milestone in trades.
• OpenSea is also in PR hot water after refusing NFT thieves to sell their stolen assets on the platform. While many Twitterazis think this goes against the principle of decentralization, others argue that there should be clear laws in place to mitigate fraud and hoaxes.
• Amidst widespread backlash, Discord founder and CEO Jason Citron reassures users that the platform currently has no plans to integrate Web3. 
• The week-long NFT exhibition titled “Right Click + Save” kickstarted in Singapore showcasing iconic artworks including Sarah Meyohas’ Bitcoin (2015), Robert Alice’s Portraits of a Mind (2019), Andy Warhol’s Untitled (Flower) (circa 1985; minted 2021) and more by Beeple, Tyler Hobbs and Refik Anadol.
