new data from @NFTStatistics showcases a unique dynamic emerging within the NFT space.
The data shows that as the NFT trade has risen with the market boom, flippers are now losing 4,000 ETH per week for the past two weeks, which has puzzled market watchers.
The opposite is currently true, says @NFTStatistics. The 30-day period has seen the highest number of cartwheels ever recorded. However, he notes that despite this, the losses from these spins are approaching all-time highs.

Additionally, @NFTStatistics shows using on-chain data that flippers have lost over 12,000 ETH so far on Blur transactions in the last month, which he says may be a preview of the Season 2 token unlock, with listings accumulating value in the BLUR token based on its trading value.
@NFTStatistics posits that the losses can be attributed to the downtrend of the market, adding that trading volumes have resulted in high gas fees and royalties, adding to the losses.
Additionally, @NFTStatistics said that NFT holders have been investing their assets in bidders, which contributes to the losses suffered by flippers.
