Ethereum Domain Names Flip Bored Ape Yacht Club on OpenSea: The New King of NFTs?

Did you hear? The NFT landscape is shifting! Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain names have surpassed Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) as the most traded asset on NFT marketplace OpenSea, according to data from 6 de sept. de 2025. This marks a significant moment, seemingly ending BAYC's reign and highlighting the growing interest in decentralized web identities.

For a long time, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), a collection of 10,000 unique Bored Ape NFTs – unique digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain – has been synonymous with the NFT space. Owning a Bored Ape sometimes felt like a passport to an exclusive Yacht Club, granting access and status within the digital community.

But now, Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain names are taking center stage. Why this sudden surge in popularity? Several factors are likely contributing, including the highly anticipated Ethereum Merge. As reported on 6 de sept. de 2025, ahead of the Merge, ENS domains have reached the top of OpenSea’s seven-day chart in trading volume. The demand for these Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain names is skyrocketing as users seek to establish their identity in the Web3 world.

The shift is undeniable. 6 de sept. de 2025 Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain names have taken over Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) as reportedly the most traded asset on non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces like OpenSea. While sales of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs surged tenfold in the last 24 hours in the past, the current trend points towards ENS as the current frontrunner. The amount of Ethereum traded daily on OpenSea doubled yesterday, likely fueled by this ENS domain frenzy. Are ENS domains the future of NFT trading? Only time will tell, but for now, they've successfully flipped the Apes!
