Welcome to the NFTDrops newsletter.
This week we will provide an update on news from the NFT collection 'Bulls on the Block' and recap the hottest recent NFT drops.
Here we go!
Bulls on the Block
Another NFT collection gaining ground with secondary sales skyrocketing
BOTB is a platform for users to buy and sell Bulls, which are digital collectibles that can serve both as internet avatars and investments.
The founders draw inspiration from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (note similarities in artistic style) and look to their community-based model as a key component to replicate.
How it works:
First NFT community with a wallet
10,000 Bulls randomly generated in the mold of the collection as a whole
All Bulls originally minted for 0.08 ETH on the BOTB Website
Collectors can purchase Bulls on OpenSea's secondary marketplace, the price floor is just above 0.1 ETH but top sellers have fetched much more
Keep your eye on the collection as it evolves!
