What Happened: For the first time in many weeks, there is a new NFT collection at the top of the list.

CloneX, which revealed their highly anticipated NFTs to anyone who used their mint vial, had the highest sales volume of the week and also came in third place for its vials.

News that Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) was acquiring CloneX parent company RTFKT led to a surge in sales volume and valuation on the NFT project.

An NFT collection from Adidas (OTC:ADDYY) called Into the Metaverse had a pre-mint period exclusive for Bored Ape Yacht Club, Gmoney and Pixel Vault NFT holders. The process experienced some delays and problems, but ultimately the NFT collection sold out at a price point of 0.2 Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) each.

Bored Ape Yacht Club, The Sandbox and Mutant Ape Yacht Club continued to rank in the top ten and saw slight volume increases from the previous week.

This week's top ten also saw only six of last week's top ten make the current leaderboard, with several newcomers hitting the list. Along with CloneX and Adidas Originals, Nanopass and My Pet Hooligan joined the top ten list with nice debuts.
