Moonbirds is the most-traded NFT collection by volume, with 24hour volumes of $54.5 million, up 51%. Trading has surpassed larger competitors such as Bored Apes, CryptoPunks, and Azuki in the collection.
Moonbirds is now worth around $266.5 million, more than twice its initial market capital. The token’s current floor price is around 33 ETH, which is more than ten times its minting price of 2.5 ETH.
The collection includes 10,000 different owl photos, with rewards for keeping each token for a longer period of time. Moonbirds, like Bored Apes, offers membership to a private club linked with the Proof Collective.
MoonBird Scammers
However, as the collection’s popularity grew, so did the number of scams and phishing attempts on Twitter. Hackers exploited verified Twitter accounts to send URLs claiming to be linked with Moonbirds, according to reports.
Users were persuaded to link their crypto wallets using the links, following which their cash and NFTs were quickly depleted.
Moonbirds founder Justin Mezzell took to Twitter to warn users about the hackers. The official Moonbirds Twitter account also condemned the attacks, claiming that the initiative had no other outlets save its own website.
