SuperRare’s price experienced a strong reversal due to profit-taking following the token’s parabolic rise of over 500% between August 5 and August 15.
The SuperRare (RARE) token retreated to $0.2280, down 34% from its high on Sunday, August 18. This drop was primarily due to profit-taking as the recent surge lacked a substantial catalyst. Additionally, the token fell after on-chain data revealed that the SuperRare Treasury transferred 7.5 million tokens to Binance. Typically, moving tokens to an exchange indicates an intent to sell.

Basically, SuperRare and other non-fungible token (nft) platforms like OpenSea and Rarible are struggling as trading volumes continue to decline.
Data from Dune analysis indicates that SuperRare’s monthly volume has plummeted to an all-time low. After reaching over $36 million in August 2021, volume fell to less than $1 million in July. This downward trend over the past two years led the company to reduce its workforce in 2023.
Similarly, OpenSea's monthly volume abandonment to $32 million in July from $643 million in February 2023.
Additional data of CryptoSlam The report shows that global nft sales volume has declined by 37% over the past 30 days, to a total of $387 million. At its peak, the industry was handling billions of dollars a week, driven by popular collections such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, Art Blocks and CryptoPunks.
SuperRare’s price surge also boosted its futures open interest to an all-time high of $112 million. Notably, the token had no open interest on the futures market for several days this month.
