Reddit’s July 27 release of its Gen 4 collection boosted the number of avatar holders, with Gen 3 generating sales transactions of over $3.4 million.
Users of the Reddit social media network usually display Polygon-based digital collectibles as their avatars. Unlike other NFT pieces often auctioned off, the Reddit avatars are sold for a fixed price and only for fiat currency.
The Gen 4 collection, titled “Retro Reimagined,” comprised several limited edition releases priced between $4.99 and $199.99 each.
As of Aug. 13, the collection had recorded cumulative transaction volumes exceeding $40 million and has helped prop up the Polygon ecosystem following the departure of Y00ts, its leading NFT project, to Ethereum.
Per data from Dune, in the last 30 days, the Polygon NFT marketplace recorded transactions worth more than $13.2 million, with Aug. 9 registering the highest single-day volume at over $830,000.
About 53% of that trading action occurred on OpenSea, 29% on Dew, 6.1% on Rarible, and 5.3% on MagicEden.
Additionally, Polygon-based NFT marketplaces experienced nearly 6,000 daily active users over the last 30 days, with July 23 marking their single busiest day, registering 21,600 users.
