Argonauts had the loudest week on the board: a single sale cleared 51 times its floor on an Alien GRAIL background, and two more pieces went for well above 18 times floor right behind it. The NFT30 index climbed 12% over the same stretch, with Argonauts doing a lot of the lifting. Elsewhere, Opepen's founder turned a one-line, pay-what-you-send stunt into the week's biggest story that had nothing to do with a sale at all.
