What Happened: Axie Infinity, the popular play-to-earn NFT game, continued to top the list and saw a huge surge in sales volume for the week. Axie is nearing $3 billion in all-time sales volume.

Farmers World, a NFT project on the WAX Blockchain, continued to climb up the leaderboard. The project was fifth last week before surging to third with a 68% weekly increase in sales volume.

Parallel joined the top ten list with a pack launch last week that sold out quickly and became a hot resell item for investors and collectors.

The Sandbox saw an increase in demand, possibly due to an increased focus on the Metaverse thanks to Facebook Inc FB rebranding its name to Meta.
Fat Ape Club is new to the list and has a current floor price of 0.31 Ethereum ETH/USD on OpenSea. The 9,999 NFT project features larger sized Apes.

Desperate ApeWives launched several weeks ago but saw huge demand this week as an Ape project focused on female traits. The 10,000 NFT project has a floor price of 0.65 ETH at the time of writing.
