In a blog post on September 27, OpenSea announced its service extension to cover digital items created on Optimism. The collaboration came after OpenSea announced support for Arbitrum, another Ethereum scaler, last week.
Since announcing interoperability with the blockchain, OpenSea has already listed over 100 Optimism-native NFT collections on its marketplace. OpenSea explicitly mentioned the integration of popular Optimism-backed companies such as Apetimism, Bored Town, MotorHeadz, and OptiChads while announcing its relationship with Optimism.
According to reports, before the new agreement, Quix, the Optimism NFT Marketplace, saw high levels of trade in Optimism-backed NFT. Dune Analytics estimates state that Quix sold about $26,000 worth of Optimism goods on Monday. The new inclusion could increase sales volume in OpenSea even if Quix's daily trading volume is comparable to the OpenSea NFT marketplace, which generated more than $9.9 million in trading volume on the same day.
Early Optimists, Apetimism, OptiChads, OptiPunks, and Optimism Quests have been the top Optimism NFT projects by trading volume. Early Optimists dominates the market with $1,450 in the last 24 hours. Approximately sales worth $700,000 have been produced by the initiative, which is more than twice as much as the previous Optimism NFT projects combined. However, since OpenSea started offering Optimism projects early Tuesday, the total Optimism NFTs trading volume has stayed steady.
Since the market-wide decline in cryptocurrency prices in May, OpenSea's monthly trading volume has suffered. In contrast to the market's all-time high of $4.86 billion in December 2021, last month's sales of $310 million were a 93% decrease.
