Floor Price Decline:
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the Azuki Elementals NFT series, the floor price has experienced a significant decline, now sitting at 1.65 ETH. This drop is below the original issue price of 2 ETH, causing concern among investors and collectors. Within a span of 24 hours, the Azuki floor price plummeted by 31%, reaching a low of 10 ETH.
Challenges and Co-Founder’s Admission of Failure:
The sharp decline in the Azuki Elementals’ floor price has raised questions about the project’s overall success and viability. In response to the situation, one of the co-founders of Azuki openly acknowledged the failure and expressed disappointment with the minting experience. The co-founder admitted that the minting process did not meet expectations, which may have contributed to the negative sentiment surrounding the NFT series.
