Several statistics spot a renaissance in the non-fungible token (NFT) market, evident in the 300% volume hike on July 22, 2025. Several blue-chip NFTs came up as the top gainers, including Pudgy Penguins, scoring 100 new NFT holders that day.

Meanwhile, the NFT-related crypto currencies whipped up a $4,069,444,830 trading volume, with Zora coin (ZORA) emerging as the top gainer in the niche with 114.7% gains in 24 hours. However, the hottest NFT project across Web3 is the late musician Ozzy Ozbourne’s cauldron of bats.

Ozzy Osbourne’s CryptoBatz Lead The NFT Wave

Dune analytics also confirm this bullish trend, with the daily trading volume literally skyrocketing in comparison to the previous three months. More recently, the death of Rock music legend Ozzy Osbourne has sparked a 600% frenzy in CryptoBatz NFT collection, which is in fact his signature project.

Dropping a 9,666 unique digital bat collection back in 2021, Ozzy is now seeing his legacy carry on with the CryptoBatz by Ozzy Osbourne collection counting 5,860 unique owners. With 113.4% gains on Thursday, this NFT project signifies how blockchain integrates within the music industry, despite many audio-related NFT tokens & projects dipping hard.
