1. Understanding Floor Price Dynamics
What Drives Floor Price?
Floor price is determined by the balance between buy pressure (people buying your NFTs) and sell pressure (people selling your NFTs).
- More Buy Pressure Than Sell Pressure: Floor price goes up.
- More Sell Pressure Than Buy Pressure: Floor price goes down.
The Role of Buy Pressure and Sell Pressure
- Buy Pressure: Driven by new buyers entering your ecosystem.
- Sell Pressure: Driven by existing holders selling their NFTs.
Why Reducing Sell Pressure Is Key
Most founders focus on attracting new buyers (buy pressure) but neglect reducing sell pressure. By minimizing the number of people selling, you create a more valuable collection with less downward pressure on the floor price.
