BLUE CHIP NFT
28 seconds agoMotahareh
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are unique, verifiable, and one-of-a-kind
blockchain tokens representing digital and physical assets. The digital market
has gone through an NFT hype since 2021, especially for blue chip NFTs, and we
are still seeing demand for better-established NFTs whose utilities go beyond
mere profile pictures.
The NFT market has added several values to non-fungible tokens. A new DappRader
report showed over $101 billion in sales of NFTs in 2022, which suggested a
67.5% increase compared to the previous year. The sale was reported for both new
collections, which could rise to the top and fall after a while, and more stable
ones, called blue chip NFT collections. However, most NFT investors sow their
interest in blue chip NFTs since they are the most sought-after tokens in the
market.
In this article, we aim to demonstrate the characteristics of blue chip NFTs and
explain how they are different from other NFT projects. We will also review the
best blue chip NFTs and some of the best blue chip NFT artists.

FAQs
How to keep your blue chip NFTs safe?
Are blue-chip NFTs hundred percent reliable?
WHAT IS A BLUE CHIP NFT?
In traditional finance, a blue chip refers to a well-established and financially
positive stock that is widely recognized. Blue chip stocks, thus, are considered
relatively safe investments with high records of success and stable growth.
Blue Chip NFT collections also demonstrate a high and stable market value in the
long term. These NFTs are among the best investment choices since their appeal
or value is not going to fade soon and it will increase with time.
Therefore, all NFT projects that provide long-term returns on investments are
considered blue-chip NFT projects. They promise to make a great profit for those
who invest in the projects. These NFT projects share multiple characteristics,
including high floor price, brand power, wide utility, and collaboration with
other brands. Let’s discuss their qualities in more detail.
QUALITIES OF A BUE CHIP NFT
Although the NFT market is still young and is developing fast, some collections
are recognized with greater stability. Therefore, they are introduced as
blue-chip NFT projects. But what exactly makes an NFT project blue chip? Here
are some of the common traits seen in blue chip NFT collections.
1. BRAND
A blue-chip NFT brand is popular, well-known and well-respected by the masses.
Blue chip brands are recognized to change with the times and are open to new
trends, especially to culturally relevant trends.
Some blue-chip NFT projects, such as CryptoPunks, gain their popularity in the
market since they were early in the space. Punks, for example, were originally
the first 10k profile picture NFTs introduced in the market, which made them not
only historically significant but also culturally relevant at the time.
Blue chip brands, on the other hand, have a positive reputation in the market.
Blue Chip NFT brands often provide profit and success to their investors which
gains them a positive reputation for the years coming. Therefore, blue chip NFT
projects are considered to be excellent long-term investments.
2. ARTIST REPUTATION
Another characteristic of blue chip NFT projects is the creative artists behind
the project. A well-known NFT artist or team can make the NFT collection sales
go higher than average since investors are familiar with or even own the
creator’s work from previous projects and notice their success.
NFT enthusiasts and investors understand that a good brand and project without a
creative artist or developer team will be less likely successful. Therefore,
known names, such as Yuga Labs, attached to an NFT project is a key feature for
blue chip NFT projects.
3. UTILITY
All blue chip NFT projects are known for their roadmaps and the utilities of
their NFTs in virtual and physical worlds. Blue Chip NFTs always have a clear
and practical utility, such as the ability to unlock exclusive content, access
special events, or participate in exclusive communities. The NFT must also
provide a genuine use case and a clear path to success with clear plans on how
to develop to the point. In fact, their roadmaps must demonstrate the bright
future ahead of the NFT project. Bored Ape Yacht Club is a good example of such
projects.
4. COMMUNITY ENDORSEMENT
If you are familiar with the NFT world, you should know that the strength of the
community surrounding an NFT project is one of the most influential traits
influencing its price and stability. Blue chip NFT projects normally have a
large and engaged community of collectors, fans, and investors who widely
support the projects and help their further growth. The community acts as a
network of advocates who try their best to promote its desired NFT project and
ensure its success.
5. FLOOR PRICE AND SALES VOLUME
The higher floor price of an NFT indicates its higher value. When the floor
price of an NFT collection increases with significant trading activity, an NFT
is more likely to become a blue-chip one. Sales volume is the main factor to
validate a steep floor price; it indicates an NFT project is popular and is
supported by its community. Bored Ape Yacht Club or CryptoPunks are considered
blue chips because of their floor price and sales volume.
BEST BLUE-CHIP NFT COLLECTIONS
1. CRYPTOPUNKS
CryptoPunks is one of the earliest NFT collections, with 10,000 NFTs minted on
the Ethereum blockchain. It was released by the well-known Larva Labs in 2017.
At the release, everyone could have a Punk NFT by paying the Ethereum gas fees.
Today, each NFT from the CryptoPunk collection means owning thousands of
dollars.
CryptoPunks are pixel-based avatars of people, apes, zombies, and aliens and
have been the headline of the news during the last few years. Punks #7523 and
#5822, for example, have been among the most expensive NFTs of all time and were
sold for $11.7 and $23.7 million, respectively.
Larva Labs announced that the CryptoPunks collection had a total lifetime sales
value of $1.99 billion by 2023, making it a blue chip-NFT collection. The
collection has had high-profile auctions at Sotheby’s and Christie’s. The floor
price of a common Punk reached over $130,000 in NFT marketplaces in May 2023.
2. BORED APES YACHT CLUB
Bored Apes Yacht Club is a collection of 10,000 cartoon-ape NFTs featuring
traits such as fur, clothing, accessories, etc. These features determine the
rarity of the NFT apes. Like CryptoPunks, Bored Apes were also minted on the
Ethereum blockchain in 2021. Yuga Labs, the team behind the project, added a
road map to the project and allowed the creation of a community for the project,
which made it even more popular and valuable.
Several celebrities, like Jimmy Fallon, Paris Hilton, Eminem, Justin Bieber,
Shaquille O’Neal, and Steph Curry, endorsed the collection and owned a Bored Ape
NFT asset. Thanks to the endorsement, Bored Ape Yacht Club experienced an
increase in prices, so Bored Ape #232 sold for $2.85 million in January 2022.
The total sales for the collection are estimated to be over $3 billion in 2023,
and the floor price reaches $170,000. Bored Apes have shown to be one of the
most stable NFT collections during the last couple of years.

generated using hundreds of visual traits. The project was launched on the
Ethereum blockchain at 0.123 ETH per mint at the time of release.

factor.
Cool Cats holders have exclusive access to NFT raffles, airdrops, community
giveaways, and priority minting for future Cool Cats projects. Cool Cats
collection has managed to gain a large community of NFT lovers and has a high

community of fans and generated the same hype as the Bored Apes collection.
Mutant Ape holders have the same access to new mints, events, and drops as Bored
Ape holders. The project has been supported by celebrities, like Neymar, which
caused an elevated floor price. The floor price for the collection reaches
almost $18,000, and the total market cap is $350,000 in 2023.

These avatars are famous for their inclusivity since they comprise multiple
