Selling Lord Kek Dust — 2016 Rare Pepe NFTs See Fresh Demand Going for Thousands on Opensea

During the first half of the year, non-fungible token (NFT) sales surged to $2.5 billion in 2021, and trade volume shows the trend hasn’t slowed down. For instance, July saw a record $363 million spent on approximately 157,801 NFT sales. Meanwhile, as new NFTs enter the space every day, older Rare Pepe NFTs from 2016 are making a comeback and are being sold on the Opensea marketplace for top dollar.

New Dispenser Technology Makes Old School Counterparty NFTs Accessible on Today’s Most Popular Marketplaces

Non-fungible token (NFT) sales have been all the rage these days as millions of dollars have been exchanged for NFT art and collectibles. On Monday, Bitcoin.com News reported on the project Cryptopunks outpacing the competition this week in terms of sales.

Furthermore, one Cryptopunk owner wants to sell a rare punk (Cryptopunk 3100) for $91 million or 35,000 ether. Additionally, NFTs like Stoner Cats, Art Blocks, Meebits, and more are also selling for tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars per NFT.

While all these NFTs are raking in lots of ether, old school NFTs are starting to see significant demand as well. The non-fungible token collectible cards from the 2016 Rare Pepe project developed on Counterparty have seen significant sales during the last few weeks.

The reason for this is because Counterparty (XCP) issued NFTs can now be sold on marketplaces like Opensea. XCP-issued NFTs can leverage emblem.finance and connect it to a noncustodial Web3 wallet in order to trade XCP and BTC-based assets on secondary markets. There’s even a step-by-step guide to add your Bitcorn, Spells of Genesis, Mafia Wars, and Rare Pepe trading cards on popular NFT markets.
