The NFT world, it seems, has decided to throw a little party—and guess who’s crashing Ethereum’s parade? Polygon, that’s who. In an utterly shocking turn of events, Polygon has sailed past Ethereum’s NFT sales for the first time ever, like a racehorse on steroids.
According to the divine prophets of CryptoSlam (no, really, it’s just data), Polygon (POL) saw a gargantuan $22.1 million in sales over the past week. Ethereum (ETH) slunk in second place, clutching a mere $21.8 million. A close race, but one where the tortoise was clearly not invited.
But wait, there’s more! Polygon didn’t just win in raw sales; oh no, it also trounced Ethereum in individual buyers. Polygon had 39,027 buyers, an 81.61% surge, while Ethereum’s numbers barely eked out 36,544. At this rate, Ethereum might need a nap and some therapy after this beatdown.
What’s Behind Polygon’s Sudden Rise? It’s Not Magic—It’s Courtyard
The true hero in this underdog story is none other than Courtyard, the real-world asset (RWA) project that’s driving Polygon’s sales into the stratosphere. A staggering $20 million in sales in just seven days—yes, you read that right. On April 22 alone, Courtyard generated $2.746 million in NFT sales. Not bad for a week’s work, eh?
So, what exactly is Courtyard doing? Well, they’ve got a collection of physical trading cards—baseball, basketball, and even Pokémon cards (yes, you read that correctly), each tied to an NFT on the Polygon network. These cards are kept locked in a vault, probably guarded by a dragon, and there’s even a virtual vending machine where users can “randomly” get their hands on a collectible. Sounds like a dream for nostalgia junkies!
Courtyard’s rise on Polygon seems to be following the classic pattern of layer-2 networks quietly stealing Ethereum’s lunch. Meanwhile, Ethereum holders are left shaking their fists at the sky, muttering about how L2s are siphoning away all the value. The struggle is real, folks.
But let’s not get too hasty. Polygon, despite its newfound fame, still has deep ties to Ethereum. It benefits from Ethereum’s decentralization and security (and it’s nice enough to stay compatible with Ethereum’s base layers and other L2s). Maybe this partnership will work out—at least until the next underdog swoops in.
