Porsche NFT, floor price rises ── supply decrease due to suspension of issuance is boosted | coindesk JAPAN | coin desk Japan

Floor prices of the company’s NFT collection have risen in the secondary market after criticism of Porsche’s Web3 strategy mounted on Twitter.

Currently, the floor price is more than double the mint (issue) price. Immediately after the issue started on January 23, the floor price was below the issue price, but the situation is changing.

The initial plan was to sell 7,500 NFTs at 0.911 Ethereum (ETH), approximately $1,420 (approximately 185,000 yen, converted to 1 dollar = 130 yen). However, criticism of the collection quickly mounted on Twitter, citing oversupply, high prices, and a lack of understanding of the company’s Web3 strategy as factors in its failure.

Porsche announced on the 24th that it will stop issuing. As a result, the number of issues remained at 2363, which caused the price to rise.

According to major NFT marketplace OpenSea, the Porsche 911-themed NFT is currently trading at a floor price of 3.3 Ethereum, about $5,200. The total transaction volume of the collection is 1,344 Ethereum, or about $2,120,800 (277 million yen).

On the 25th, Porsche revealed the Web3 strategy at the company on Twitter and explained the details of NFT issuance. NFTs will be able to do many things based on their rarity, such as offering holders events and experiences in the coming months.

In response to the Twitter criticism, a Porsche spokesperson told CoinDesk that the company’s NFTs are “intended as long-term investments.”

“We recognize that NFT issuance has received a lot of interest from art lovers and Porsche enthusiasts.Many customers in the Web3 community have decided that direct resale is not profitable. The size of the community isn’t decisive for us, it’s important to be able to offer the community as special and unique events and utility as possible. ‘, the spokesperson said.
