Wash volume totaled $85,595, bringing its combined figure to $8.77 million. Bitcoin buyer addresses rose 41.11% to 10,161.</p><p>Polygon recorded $7.03 million in organic sales, down 34.29%. However, the network also showed $18.19 million in wash volume, more than twice its organic figure. Polygon’s buyer count declined 18.53% to 85,607.</p><p>Base placed fourth with $3.57 million in sales, down 13.26%, while its buyers increased 41.61% to 3,070.

Only three transactions, three buyers, and three sellers produced the entire total, making its volume highly concentrated rather than representative of broad collectible trading.</p><p>CryptoPunks followed with $2.07 million, up 7.64%. The collection recorded 19 sales involving 17 buyer and 18 seller addresses.</p><p>Base-based Beezie generated $1.88 million, down 33.29%, from 11,186 transactions. Only nine buyer addresses participated, compared with 225 seller addresses.</p><p>Blokyz ranked sixth with $1.83 million from 4,212 transactions, while Pudgy Penguins placed seventh.

Flying Tulip’s official materials describe its putNFTs as ERC-721 tokens encoding perpetual put positions and redemption rights. The transaction therefore involved a tokenized financial position rather than an ordinary profile-picture or digital-art collectible.</p><p>Another $X@AGI BRC-20 NFT ranked third after selling for $442,220, or 5.59 BTC, approximately four days earlier.</p><p>A separate NFT from the same collection changed hands for $434,085, settled in 5.5999 BTC, around one hour before the screenshot was captured.</p><p>The collection also produced the fifth-largest sale, valued at $386,846 and settled for 5 BTC five days earlier. Four of the five largest transactions came from $X@AGI BRC-20 NFTs, showing that a small number of high-value Bitcoin trades shaped the week’s top-sales table.</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-etf-flows-swing-outflow-price-holds-near-77-5k/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bitcoin ETF flows swing to $202M outflow as price holds near $77.5K </a></p>
