Top Upcoming NFTs I'm Looking Forward to

Today we are going to be talking about NFTs. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another Crypto Grilla video. As usual, I am not a financial advisor. Everything in this video is just my opinion. Hit that subscribe button and let's jump right into it. So NFTs, we're going to be talking about the secondary market, but mainly upcoming projects and trends that I'm keeping an eye on. I think right now the NFT market is in a very weird place because of what's going on in the world. We have a tariff war going on. I'm hearing a ton of talk about an upcoming recession that's going to be happening within the next month. We also have an FOMC meeting happening this week, which could determine the direction of the markets for the next few months. So if things are about to get very volatile, especially towards the downside, NFTs are going to take a beating. However, that doesn't mean that there still aren't plenty of opportunities out there to make money with NFTs. Just this week, we saw multiple projects not only perform well for whitelisters to quickly flip and get out, but that performed well on the secondary market. But it's really not an anything goes type of market where you could just throw your money at the wall and that NFT is going to perform well. You have to be very specific about what you're trading. So let's take a look first at the mints that happened last week to see what kind of projects and understand the market that we're dealing with. And then we're going to go ahead and talk about projects that I have my eye on. So there's really three projects that everybody was talking on the timeline about last week. The first one is One Gravity, which is a project by OG Labs, which is a decentralized AI layer one. And typically these things do perform well, especially as people are expecting to get an airdrop from this. So it's a way of getting in to the chain early without having invested in the ICO round. And as you can see, these minted for 0.1 ETH, they went all the way to 1.7. So a 17X return currently sitting at 1.2. And these things typically do perform well, especially that it's in the project's favor that the floor is high because it's, it speaks to the demand for their token. But at the same time, it's very hard to get. I heard these were hand chosen. So if you were lucky enough to get whitelisted for this, I'm very happy for you. I did get asked a lot if like, should I buy this NFT? The way I look at it, the first days are always risky. Yes, it can continue to run, especially if it's a low supply collection. However, I tend to compare this to things like the Raccoon's Genesis Pass, which if you bought into the initial hype, these were trading at around 0.6. However, they're currently under 0.2. So you're at over a 66% loss if you did purchase this within the first week or so. So more often than not, it's worth waiting for the hype to calm down, especially that people in this industry are incredibly impatient. So if OG labs isn't doing their airdrop within like a week, they already want out, which as you can see, it has gone down from its secondary highs, but it's still way up. If you minted from whitelist. Now the second project that I'm seeing a ton of people talk about are the masks of Lucy by Sam Spratt. It's his latest drop. In order to get this, you had to either get an invite or get lucky and win a raffle to participate in the masquerade and over the masquerade, the masks evolved. And as you can see, there are 613 unique masks. And while it was expensive, as far as mint prices go, as these minted for 2.5 ETH, it's a very different kind of buyer who is interested in this kind of NFT. These are my favorite kind of NFTs. Like this is something in my opinion, that is going to last the test of time. And as you can see, they're currently trading for, we have a ton of sales here between 7 and 9 ETH. So it is performing incredibly well. And I also noticed that a skull of Lucy also traded recently for 88.88 ETH or $172,000. Now the third drop that I'm seeing everybody across the timeline talk about is of course, good vibes club. This is a 3d art focused play. It is backed by super rare. And I've seen a bunch of people posted as their PFP. They're posting the ones that they're buying. They are sniping rare traits. Like if we scroll through the sales here, you could see there's a bunch at 1 ETH. I think I saw one that sold all the way for 6 ETH. And it is bringing back the old school vibes of NFTs. These minted for 0.069 ETH. Anybody could have gotten in, in their public auction. And the floor is currently at 0.32. So performing incredibly well. And funny enough, I did see people comparing these to Wagme interfaces, which was a collection that never minted during the last cycle. It was super hyped. And if it did mint, especially during a time of invisible friends, I do think it would have performed well. So this is kind of our consolation prize for not getting Wagme interfaces. We get these and they're doing really well. So although there is no direct relation or correlation between these three collections, the common narrative that I'm seeing being spoken about on the timeline for the future of NFTs is that there is a flight to quality, which I believe we're also seeing this in the crypto market where a lot of people are kind of fed up with meme coins and playing the casino, even though I do believe that is going to come back. I think in NFTs, we're seeing it where people are fed up of like the latest knockoff animal PFP collection that nobody's going to put as their PFP. Everybody just wants to flip it and people are no longer willing to play that game. However, they are willing to put their money into something legitimate that has a real artist or a real team behind it. So these are the type of plays that we should be looking for, not only as whitelists, but also as secondary plays, because like we saw for Good Vibes Club, you could have gotten into this on the secondary market for as low as 0.07, just around mint price. And same thing for the Masks of Lucy here. If we scroll down to the earlier sales, they were selling above mint price, but still four and a half ETH and not even a day later, they're already at eight ETH. Now, the other thing you're going to notice in this video is there are so many chains now that you have to be aware of with new NFTs coming out. It's extremely exhaustive, especially if you want to keep up with the rest of the market. So unless you're in a really good NFT group that manages to get a lot of whitelists and you don't have to do any work outside of entering a raffle, your best bet is probably to focus on one or two chains or one or two niches. So the first category that we're going to talk about is going to be product related NFTs, meaning there's a legitimate product that the team is attempting to build and hopefully it's going to lead to a token and a token airdrop for the NFT holders. So the first one is Kindred AI and they are building AI agents. If we take a look at their pitch deck here, you could see that they wanted to be able to do some tasks like booking your Uber, scheduling events, basically a personal assistant, but the way they're going about it is they're really making your AI agent, your companion. So it has its own character. They're really focused on the IP side of things rather than just having like a blank face assistant, similar to what you have on your phone with something like Siri. So if we take a look at this sneak peek video, you could see a ton of their IPs. Some of them have not been announced yet, although we can make out like there's a board ape here. This is the Teletubby, which they did recently announce. This is an Axie Infinity. This one looks a lot like a pudgy penguin, which would make sense because this project is on abstract. And if we go to their pitch deck, you could see they also have partnerships with Web2 brands like Teletubbies. Here we have Warner Bros and Web3 like Axie Infinity. Now to start off, the product is a plugin, which I assume is watching everything I do on my browser, but they've also gone ahead and gamified it. So when you have your companion, you're able to go into this world. There's a ton of different worlds. This is just one, for example, where I can't do it yet because I'm missing five. I don't know what this is called essence in order to build up my land. However, there's a ton of stuff you can do in here like daily check-in to get some points. They have some missions you could complete. You have a backpack where you can collect different assets. And then I'm assuming you could dress up and really engage with your companion. You can collect badges. There's a leaderboard and so on. So again, they're really going ahead and gamifying the experience. So not only is it going to be an AI agent that you engage with on the day to day, you're able to engage with and build this relationship with this character. Now, as for the NFT, it is going to be a low supply of 1000 NFTs. However, the best part is it's a free mint. So there is literally no risk. And you do have the potential here for the Kin token airdrop, which I don't believe has been confirmed. However, they're going to have their own token. And I think it's safe to assume that you're going to be getting an airdrop here. So this one is going to be happening on Abstract. And then the other product related NFT that I'm seeing a lot of people talk about is OnTegrity, which is the official NFT for Orochi Network, which is the first verifiable data infrastructure. Now, if we jump to the website, they are attempting to build or have built multiple products. Here we have O-Rand, which is for randomness. So let's say you have a raffle or let's say you have a game that has like rock, paper, scissor mechanics. How do you verify that nobody's cheating and rigging the results? Well, that's with a tool like O-Rand. They also have some oracles for data management. They have ZK database and ZK memory for zero knowledge proofs and stuff like that. So they're building multiple products that people are going to integrate into their products. Now, one of the reasons it's getting so much hype right now is because they just announced back in February, their raise of $12 million, which has a ton of VC investors. They also got grants by Ethereum Foundation and BNB Chain. And they've also announced partnerships with over 80 different protocols or projects, whatever you want to call these. So it's safe to say that they are building something legitimate, which is what people are looking for with their NFTs right now. Now there is going to be pre-sale for this as well as white lists. I'm seeing a lot of demand for the pre-sale, especially because you get a discounted price. Pre-sale is going for $50 and white list for $100. The total supply of the collection is 3000. And these are minting, I believe in early April on base. And me personally, if I'm able to get pre-sale, I am going to invest as it's just $50 for the NFT. And hopefully it ends up leading to their token airdrop. Now the next category is really just going to be picking winners from specific chains. However, some of these can be very hard to navigate as these NFT collections have started front running the chain itself by launching on ETH and base. This is something we saw on Barachain where the hypest NFTs had already launched on ETH and they went to ridiculous prices because people were anticipating a Barachain token airdrop from them. However, if we look at the Barachain NFTs that actually launched on Barachain, there haven't really been any that have performed well. The best one is really Bullas, which I'm holding one of these. However, nothing has established itself as the main NFT of Barachain. Now this might change when SteadyTeddy or if SteadyTeddy's ever launches, as people are expecting that one to be the main collection of Barachain. We also have Mabara Makers, which is launching, I believe this week, so hopefully we get some exciting action on Barachain. Now the same thing happened on Hyperliquid, where the number one NFT outside of PER, which is trading like OTC for something like $40,000, is the wealthy Hypeio Babies, which you could see here is trading at 148 Hype tokens. However, you might remember from my videos, because I spoke about these many times, they were trading on base, because they originally minted on base, and then you were able to migrate them over to Hyper EVM. So again, it can become difficult to navigate this stuff, as a lot of these collections aren't even waiting for the main chain to drop. Now just a quick note on Hyperliquid, it had a really nice bounce here, and some of the projects are performing really well. We have Hypers currently at 13 Hype, and this chain is worth keeping an eye on, because we just had this mint for Mecha Cats, which anybody could have minted in public. I managed to mint five, and they're currently a 2x from their mint price. So there's a ton of opportunities if you are hyper-focused into one chain. Now the three chains where you could put your attention, the first one is Movement, which I believe this launched something like three months ago. It is currently at a 4.4 billion FDV, but I do see a lot of people talking about the NFTs or upcoming NFTs dropping on this chain. The main one that I see a lot of people talk about is Archai. It's very much like a community type of play. However, they are taking the Hype's route, where they're trying to partner with a ton of projects on Movement and get their community either airdrops, ideally airdrops, but benefits for these different protocols. So as you can see here, they've already announced a partnership with Warpgate, where the NFT holders are going to get an exclusive role in the Discord, but the main thing, they're going to get IDEO access for the DEXs token. The other one that they've just announced is for RazorDAO. And to be honest, I don't know much about these DEXs. I'm assuming these are the main ones. Here you could see, again, exclusive Discord role, exclusive raffle slots, and DEX trading incentives. So I imagine we're going to see more and more of these, especially because Archai is becoming one of the main collections on Movement. And the best part about all this is it is a free so zero risk and the supply is relatively low at 2,211. Now there's a ton of upcoming projects on Movement. I haven't done the homework on all of them. I saw NFT Boy made a great post here covering just the main details you need to know about the project. So there's a few I would check out. There's Squirrel Move, which as far as I can tell, this is really just an art play. One that has actual utility or a product behind it is going to be this one, BRKT, the cats. And they are building a predictions market on Movement. So similar to Polymarket, where you could gamble on the outcome of certain things using crypto. And then if you're right, you get paid. They also have a mobile app, which seems to be, or as they call it, the Tinder for outcomes. So I'm guessing you just swipe either way. He also mentions Archai World. And then he quickly just mentions a few others, Gorilla Movers, Moveloris, and NFT Spartans. So I will link this down below if you want to check these out and try to get whitelist. The other chain is, of course, Monad, which is currently in Testnet, which a lot of people I know are grinding to try and get an airdrop. The main NFTs that I see from here are things like Monadverse, which this is a big supply, but it is really hard to collab with these guys, even though I think it's a 10K supply. The other one, which we just have, or we currently have a raffle running for in Gorilla Labs is Lil Chogstar. So excited for these projects. And a lot of people are anticipating Monad to do well. And then the final one is going to be Mega ETH. Now they managed to sell out 5,000 soul bound tokens, meaning you cannot trade them for one ETH each, which I did mint one here. And currently you can do activities like Feed It Daily, which I already did today, I think. So it's not going to work. You could also chat with it. Hello. But then you can complete weekly quizzes. So if you have one of these NFTs, I would be doing these quizzes because their airdrop, which you're guaranteed an airdrop if you have this NFT, 50% comes out on day one, but the remaining 50% is over six months, but there's a way to speed it up. So I'm hoping that this kind of activity is going to speed it up as well as other activity on the Mega ETH testnet, which they've said there's no airdrop just for using a testnet, but every chain says that. So hopefully there is an airdrop, but there's also going to be 5,000 future NFTs minting for the fluffle. And I'm hoping since they managed to sell this out for 5,000 ETH, essentially, I'm hoping there's other NFTs that pop up that perform well on Mega ETH. So those are the chains that I'm looking at with some of the NFTs on those chains. I'm sure if I went deeper down the rabbit hole in a specific chain, I would find a ton more upcoming NFTs. So maybe I'll make chain specific videos for Monad and movement in the near future. Now, maybe you don't want to hear about any of that stuff and you are interested in the wonderful world of art. In that case, I would check out the latest drop, upcoming drop, excuse me, by Xcopy, which is called Empire Things. This is going to be part of his Fresh Hell collection, which there's already a couple on the market. And after that, we don't really have any news of future drops from Xcopy. If you want to see this, I'll link it down below. It allows you to find out what's coming out next. So this NFT has 42 in its collection, which is very good for Xcopy. It's a very low supply. So I imagine these are going to trade for a lot of money. And the mint price for this is 2 ETH, which again, I understand that might be really expensive when you hear that, but this is part of that art world, similar to Sam Spratt, where these pieces sell for insane amounts of money. He has pieces that have sold for millions, but if you just check some of his bigger supply collections, like here, the Grifters at 666, these have a floor price of 13.25 with a ton of sales. If you just scroll through, like there's multiple this week, there's multiple over the last month, all of which are above 10 ETH. So it is very stable. And this is the kind of collection that reminds me of Web2Art, where there's like a club of people who have a vested interest to keep the price of all the assets across the board for specific artists high and stable. And this is the kind of NFT that I believe is going to last the test of time. Now, like I said, it's minting for 2 ETH. It's already on OpenSea, even though it hasn't been distributed to anybody yet. As you can see, there is an offer of 3.5 ETH. So it's already flippable if you're interested in flipping it. However, personally, I would not flip at that price because if you look at the two other NFTs in the Fresh Hell collection, there's this one, also a 42 supply, which has a 70th offer, as well as this one, again, 42 supply. It has a 6.6 offer. But if you look at the sales history, these are selling for a lot of money here, 90th, 80th, 12 ETH, 12 ETH. So again, this is a very sought out collection and a very sought out artist. Now, you're probably too late for this one. There was a raffle in the XCopy server over the weekend if you did hold some of his assets. However, if you want to keep up with the art market, which I know can be difficult, I have this list I made a while back. I follow 165 artists and people who follow the art world. I'll link it down below. I'm pretty sure anybody could follow the list and I'll continue to add to it over time. However, I would also recommend following Roger Dickerman as he does these 24 hours of art updates daily where he does all the work for you. Like he puts together everything you need to know that's going on in the world of art and it makes it super easy to follow. So again, I will link this down below and you can keep up with the art world on your own. Now, the next category we're going to look at is on-chain gaming, which I believe still has steam in the tank for some future winners. The narrative is being held up by on-chain heroes, which has performed incredibly well, not to say other projects like Gigaverse and then things like Beacon and Cambria aren't going to do super well, but on-chain heroes has really been the star and the floor is holding up super well at point four. So really excited to see what's going to happen with this collection, especially as season one should be ending soon. They have the gotcha, they recently rolled out the dungeons and eventually there's going to be cosmetics or equipment that's going to be happening. So super cool to see this project perform well, but some upcoming ones that I'm looking forward to. The first one is DeFi dungeons, which we do have the vaults going live this week, which is going to be for their gold token. As you can see here, the gold vault allows participants to purchase tokens before the token is alive. So it's like a presale and then the tokens are going to be admitted over a two year period. And then I believe shortly after this, they are going to have their NFT mint. So if you have whitelist, you're going to be able to mint your NFTs and then the game is going to go live. So very excited for this one, especially if the team has experience in the past. If we take a look here, it is by Longwood Labs who are also behind the heist game, which if you minted these NFTs, these are flippable. It performed well, but the game actually did well and is still running till this day. After that, we have dungeons of fortune. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything about this, even though I have seen some behind the scenes stuff and I was very impressed. They did start a hand selected presale, which full disclosure, I did invest into this. So clearly I'm bullish and I can tell you like, it's not a new team that's building this. Um, and I do expect it to do well. So I'm hoping in the near future, they do start releasing more details and I'm able to talk about it. You'll probably see me either mention it in a video or tweet about it. Like I said, I did the presale, right? So I want it to perform well. Um, and this kind of stuff, like if you just scroll through the comments, right, you could see all the influencers who are commenting. So they either participated in it or they're trying to get access to it. So hopefully you can use that to gauge who is interested in these kinds of projects. Now, the third project that I've mentioned many times now, which is not an NFT, but it's still going to have presale. So if you have a whitelist, you're going to get early access to their token is of course, monsters.fun. This is going to be on abstract. It has to do with AI agents who are going to battle each other. And typically if these projects or these platforms do perform well, there's at least one token that does incredibly well. We saw this with pump.science. We saw this with DAO's world. We saw it with DAO's.fun. So if you do have presale for this and the platform is successful, I'm expecting the first token and possibly the second and third to perform incredibly well. Now, finally, this week we have the tap roots wizard mint, which is minting for 0.2 Bitcoin, uh, raising something like $35 million. And in my last video, I was very critical of this and I stand by what I said. And that doesn't mean I don't believe that this is going to mint out. Cause I do. I believe it's also going to be flippable. Like this is super hype. A lot of people are talking about it across the timeline. I'm expecting it to dominate the timeline on, I guess this is Wednesday. Uh, there's also the FOMC meeting. So we'll see, but I expect a lot of people to be talking about this. My issue is the amount of money that they're going to drain out of the market when ordinals, although they are seeing a tiny little bounce here are already down quite bad. And I'm seeing people talk about how this, you know, giving them 0.2 and because it's going to be flippable is going to spark a wave of a revival of ordinals. And while I do think there could be a little bounce here as people think that, and that narrative starts to spread, I don't think this is going to start an ordinals bull market, similar to how we had the black eye mint for ordinal maxi biz. Like it did not spark anything. And I think this is going to be another team that comes in. They take $35 million from the market. Uh, just like how OMB launched, they took 80 mil from the market and they haven't delivered anything. I don't know what people are expecting from this. And I'm, I guess it looks like I'm just funding. Look, if your bags go up and I'm wrong and there is an ordinals crazy run and ruins pop off, I'm super happy. And I also hold some of this stuff. So I'm going to do well as well, but I'm super happy for you. If your bags go up, I just don't think this is the way, you know, because it's Udi because he's an OG, like it's okay that he's taking 35 mil from the market. Okay. Like that's your opinion. I disagree, but I do think this project is going to do well. So if you have whitelist, I think it's going to be flippable. But with that being said, that is the end of today's video. I'll try to do more detailed videos based on the chain, like movement and monad and all that. Yeah, that's it. Uh, I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did be sure to give it a big thumbs up. If you haven't already done so, would you kindly hit that subscribe button, smash that bell notification. Thank you for watching another crypto gorilla NFT video. I had been quite some time since we did a full dedicated NFT video. So that's it. Peace.
