This is just the beginning for #NFTonXRP.
The XRPL Punks collection, or Xpunks, homage to the already legendary non-fungible CryptoPunks collectibles, is one of the hottest on XRPL. Since the long-awaited XLS-20 amendment was applied to XRPL this fall, Xpunks alone have traded 1.78 million XRPs to date.
Interestingly, the second most popular collection is a reference to another already legendary NFT collection, the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The Bored Apes XRP Club has two times less, but still a turnover of 866,533 XRP.
Fast-returning record
A fresh purchase by an unknown community hero stands a good chance of going up in price and making a profit for its owner in the near future. As reported by U.Today, the price of XRP has been showing extremely positive action lately and is clearly aiming for at least October levels.
