NFT Market News- NFT ‘Flippening’: BAYC exchange challenges CryptoPunks …

While the traditional crypto conversation revolves around the battle between Bitcoin and Ethereum, there is increasing discussion of the “flipping” in the NFT world, typically Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks.

Of course, punks had a “hereditary” identity as the man behind the early days of NFT’s performance. CryptoPunks is arguably the first NFT profile photo, a status and community symbol that paved the way for the NFT space. However, the Bored Ape Yacht Club has taken a pioneering role in the community position – it has created a group of individuals with a common sense of identity that is unparalleled in the world of NFTs.
