There was a significant surge in Rarible’s trading volume following the NFT marketplace’s decision to maintain creator royalties and remove both OpenSea and Blur from their aggregation data. According to DappRadar, a data analytics platform, Rarible’s trading volume surged 637% within 24 hours.
Rarible’s trading volume surge was remarkable compared to other competitors during the same period. OpenSea and LooksRare experienced a trading volume rally of 19% and 24% respectively, while X2Y2 saw a volume increase of 8.8% during the period under observation.
On August 22, Rarible’s co-founder, Alex Salnikov, announced that the organization will no longer support marketplaces that neglect royalties. He also noted that beginning from September 30, Rarible will no longer aggregate orders from OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2.
Slanikov emphasized Rarible’s decision to support and uphold a redefined paradigm that values and compensates for creativity. He affirmed their stand to support the underlying promise of hope, especially for artists and creators. Salnikov said:
Web3 offers an underlying promise of hope, especially for artists and creators. Beyond minting NFTs, this space is about redefining the paradigm in which creativity is valued and compensated. We cannot continue to standby as that promise is taken away.
According to Salnikov, decentralization offers the opportunity to dispel the stigma of the “starving artist,” and enable the continued growth of projects through ownership and ongoing earnings. He believes that the principle of royalties is at the heart of decentralization, enabling a continual affirmation of a creator’s value in every transaction.
Rarible describes its latest stand on royalties as a solidarity movement to support creators and artists. The organization targets redefining the NFT industry and chart a new course for users to create a better Web3 ecosystem.
