I have trouble believing the numbers will get higher.
Just days after laying off a bunch of employees and firing CFO Mark Recupero, GameStop has launched their very own NFT’s. As to how much they’ve made, taking into account the 2.25% commission fee they’ve been open about charging, Ars Technica puts the amount made in the ballpark of ~$45,000.
That might sound like a lot. But given some rough math from Kotaku, that basically comes out to what roughly 12-14 of their stores might make in a single day. Though, admittedly, since Chris is currently behind bars, none of the NFT’s have been pepper sprayed.
Still, we’re talking about sales in a shrinking market. It’s hard to imagine things getting much better than that. And I imagine this won’t be the Hail Mary play they probably thought it would be.
Currently the most popular collection (of which they have a whopping 250) is MetaBoy, which is garnering nearly double the sales of the silver and bronze medalists, CYBER CREW and Bombatomics. As a matter of fact, nothing below the 10 spot has a total volume above $15,000. What’s a MetaBoy look like? Well, here you go:
As for the meme stonks types that breathed new life into the ailing business, though, they’re all for it. To the moon, and all that jazz. I’m slightly more pessimistic, though. Because right now, there’s only one trend, and that trend is downward.
