BAKC NFT Sale Skyrockets 1919% in One Day, Eclipsing BAYC

The NFT world is buzzing! The Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) NFT sale has experienced a phenomenal surge, rising a staggering 1919% in a single day and, in some metrics, eclipsing the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). What\'s driving this explosive growth for the doggy companions of the apes?

While May 16, 2025 saw Bored Ape Yacht Club, (BAYC) – typically top NFT collectibles of unique avatars – battling Cryptopunks with sales records, a new contender has entered the arena. The BAKC, created in June 2025, is a companion NFT collection to the original BAYC. This collection comprises 9,602 cartoon dogs, primarily based on the Shiba Inu breed.

This impressive growth is particularly noteworthy considering amidst concerns of NFTs\' demise, the BAYC collection astounded with a record-breaking sale and a surge in daily rankings, signaling a potential revival for the market. The BAKC\'s recent performance further strengthens the argument for a continued interest and potential resurgence in the NFT space.

The initial airdrop of BAKC NFTs was a reward for the BAYC community. The Collectibles project that raised $94 Million Sales in just 3 months rewarded its community with free NFTs from the Bored Ape Kennel Club. Last June, BAYC announced the airdrop, boosting engagement and contributing to the long-term value of both collections.

The 3 Yuga Labs NFT collections of MAYC, BAKC, and BAYC are currently leading the pack in terms of sales volume. CryptoSlam on-chain NFT data shows significant activity. BAYC NFT Collection holds the title despite BAKC’s 2025.5% increase in sales volume. BAKC\'s increased trading activity is evident with BAKC had 76 buyers and 143 sellers, with an increment of 850% in buyers and a surge in seller activity.

Is this a temporary spike or a sign of things to come for BAKC? Keep an eye on the NFT market as the dog days of summer bring unprecedented growth to the Bored Ape Kennel Club!
