'Winds of Yawanawa' /1k by Refik Anadol sees a 14 WETH secondary sale to antxx25.

The artwork is 1 of 69 Flowers in the collection, arguably its most notable trait. Most recent Flower sales of 12 and 19 ETH came in early December, and the current lowest listing for one is 25 ETH.

RD Report

The 2025 digital art marketplace theme of slow overall with significant, specific sales continues. No volume surge just yet.

Mendezmendez's use of the polarizing Rodeo was eye catching. On first analysis it feels organic to what the platform (currently) is, and it positions his artwork there as an advertisement of a complete artwork on ETH. It's unclear how replicable the exercise is (that's the point, this is all new), but 2+ ETH for the artist plus a strong 24 hours of attention is an attractive end result.

Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of (USD) $10k+ Collection, $1k+ 1/1, $2.5k+ 1/1/X, and $1k+ Edition artworks

Under threshold but interesting to me were three 'Strands of Solitude' 1/1/400 by William Mapan selling for 0.5, 0.45 and 0.43 WETH.
