NFT-Volume Risk Appetite
In plain terms
When NFT trading volume across marketplaces (OpenSea, Blur, etc.) surges 1 standard deviation above its 90-day trend, crypto-equity names like Coinbase and the miners tend to outperform over the next 1-2 weeks. We use NFT volume as the canary for retail speculative risk-on appetite.
How it works
NFT marketplace volume (aggregated across collections in nft_volume_daily) is a leading indicator of speculative crypto-equity demand. Rising NFT volume → COIN/MSTR/RIOT/MARA/HUT catch a bid 5-10 trading days later as retail rotates from JPEGs into liquid crypto-equity proxies; falling NFT volume drags the same names down.
