NFT trends in July 2024: Abstract’s blockchain, Ubisoft’s Champions Tactics, PROFILES digital fashion, UniTap’s DeFi, and Chooky Records’ music NFTs.
In the last week of June, Ethereum blue-chip NFT projects saw a rebound. CryptoPunks surged by 24%, BAYC by up to 30%, Pudgy Penguins by up to 50%, and Azuki by up to 35%. Solana’s top project, Mad Lads, also rose by 40%, while leading Bitcoin projects NodeMonkes and Bitcoin Puppets both increased by over 20%.
Is this a sign that NFTs have bottomed out? CoinRank believes it’s too early to pop the champagne. However, let’s look ahead to July to see which NFT projects are worth our attention.

NFT PROJECT 1: ABSTRACT (FORMERLY FRAME)
Frame, an NFT Layer 2 chain, had been quiet since extending its airdrop pre-claim period on January 30. Recently, it was announced that Igloo, the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, has acquired the Frame team. This team will now focus on developing the new Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain called Abstract, which marks a shift from enhancing creator tools to broad consumer engagement and large-scale crypto adoption.
Abstract is set to enforce protocol-level royalties to protect creators’ rights, leveraging its consumer-focused blockchain powered by ZK cryptography. With the backing of Igloo and the innovative push from the former Frame team, there is significant anticipation around Abstract’s potential to innovate in consumer adoption.
Say hello to Abstract, the blockchain leading the consumer crypto revolution.

UniTap aims to bridge the gap between the Tap Protocol (an enhanced version of the BRC-20 protocol previously developed by TRAC), BRC-20, and Runes, supporting the mapping of Tap Protocol tokens to BRC-20 and Runes with seamless swaps among them. They will release an OG Pass with a total supply of 3000 on July 3, priced at 0.0049 Bitcoin per pass.
