Yuga Labs’ second-biggest NFT project MAYC encountered a huge deal of pressure in the past week and its daily trading volume sits at $2.9 million which is a huge drop compared to the ATH recorded at $43 million when Otherside was launched. The NFT market seems to have cooled off after the hype-driven by the highly-anticiapted and speculative virtual land sale that was exemplified by Otherside and the data indicates that when the crypto dropped deepened in the past week, the total trading volume of NFT transactions was down by 30%.
