With Ordinals collections rallying across the board this week, people are taking a closer look at the top Bitcoin NFTs.
One analysis that caught my eye came via The Monke Appraiser, who just published a short thread comparing the market cap size of the largest Ethereum collection—CryptoPunks—with the market cap size of the reigning Bitcoin collection, NodeMonkes.
The conclusion? While CryptoPunks' market cap is 0.2% of Ethereum's market cap, NodeMonkes' market cap is only 0.01% of Bitcoin's. If NodeMonkes were to reach a similar ratio, the floor price would be around 4.68 BTC—approximately 21 times the current floor price.
The thrust here then is if the Bitcoin NFT scene continues to bloom, the top Bitcoin NFT collection could see its market cap ratio climb significantly, e.g. closer to that 0.2% mark that CryptoPunks currently occupies on Ethereum.
My hot take in kind? I absolutely think we'll see a higher market cap ratio like this reached on Bitcoin eventually, but I'm not sure NodeMonkes will be the collection to do it first. Maybe, maybe not. The playing field is just looking pretty early and wide open to me right now.
All I'm saying is it's entirely possible that another Ordinals collection comes to the fore and dominates the market cap ratio to new heights before NodeMonkes can. Maybe Bitcoin Puppets, maybe Taproot Wizards, maybe a project that's not even live yet.
We'll see. Yet regardless of which collection ultimately takes the lead, my takeaway is that the Bitcoin NFT market has plenty of room for growth when compared against the towering size of the Ethereum NFT ecosystem. Which projects shine from here is the grand question for now.
