NFT Market Defies Gravity: Sales Surge 10.6% to $115M as Doodles Go Parabolic (+500%)

Blue-chip NFTs shake off bear market dust as collectors rush back—proving once again that digital apes and cartoon doodles somehow still move faster than your bank’s wire transfer department.

The takeaway? In crypto, even the jpegs moon when liquidity sloshes back in—just don’t ask about the utility.
