## Summary

In this weekly NFT recap, CryptoGorilla reviews the past week's mint performances, breaks down the heavily hyped Cerebro mint and its aftermath, and shares a list of upcoming NFT drops he's targeting for whitelist. The video covers art mints, degen plays, airdrop strategies, and practical tips for navigating the current NFT market.

### Key Points

- **Sugar memecoin launchpad opportunity** [00:18] — New memecoin launchpad Sugar drops at 1pm Eastern. Unlike pump-and-dumps, successful launchpads like Heaven's Litecoin ran to 250M FDV over time. Sugar locks 20 Solana forever each time a token graduates, redistributing value back to users, and offers tickets for cashback multipliers plus an upcoming airdrop.
- **Painted JPEGs did 3x despite FUD** [02:09] — Marketed as a free mint but ended with a public price of 0.00505 ETH. Despite FUD, it hit a 3x at the top, and whitelist minters got free money. It later dropped 50% from the public price, so selling was the win.
- **Malow Inc was a successful art mint** [03:06] — Whitelist mint was 0.0125 ETH, public round roughly 0.02. After top traders started sweeping and Dingling swept 50 NFTs, price ran to 0.055 ETH — over 4x from whitelist, over 2x from public. It later fell below the public mint price.
- **PF Pepes delivered a 6.5x** [03:55] — Completely missed by the host, PF Pepes still performed well, sitting at a 0.065 ETH floor versus a roughly 0.01 ETH mint price — around a 6.5x. It was another sign that art mints are currently a strong play.
- **Momentos by Modest offers deflationary mechanics** [04:44] — 7,000 supply and up to 42 mints per wallet. The NFTs can be burned to redeem Modest's future art, allow lists, or custom one-of-one pieces. If flipped above 0.05 ETH after minting 42, that was roughly 42 ETH (about $1,800) at then-current prices.
- **Cerebro was the most hyped mint of the week** [06:09] — Whitelist spots traded as high as $1,300 in Exverse. The host was concerned about the 7K supply and 0.0808 ETH mint price, noting that current market conditions made those figures very high. The team raised $2.5 million.
- **Bots got stuck and hurt Cerebro's floor** [08:42] — Memecoin bots minted a large amount but their NFTs got stuck in the contract. To exit, they accepted 0.001 ETH offers to themselves on Magic Eden, avoiding fees and pushing the floor down. The floor ended up near the mint price.
- **Do napkin math for airdrop value** [10:19] — When an NFT has a future airdrop, run napkin math — e.g., a 50M FDV with 10% airdrop allocation implies a certain value per NFT. Use that to decide whether buying around 0.04 ETH is worth the risk.
- **Wall Street Pepe NFT coming** [11:14] — This is an ETH memecoin migrating to Solana with a $13M+ market cap. Holders will burn the ETH version via a soul token, and the project is launching a free NFT mint, which limits downside risk.
- **Crypto Lottery has strong utility** [12:12] — A non-custodial IRL lottery draw founded by Michael Gonzalez, who previously sold Fit T for $100M. It's a free mint on Solana with a tiny 150 supply, and the main utility is revenue sharing from the platform's performance.
- **Shrimpers is Anom's flagship collection** [13:33] — The main collection for a new chain typically does well if there's enough interest. This one was retweeted by the Anom team and got crazy engagement, making it a must-have in the host's opinion.
- **Bitcoin Wizards comes from the original meme artist** [14:28] — Mavenbot is the creator of the meme behind the original Bitcoin Wizard that inspired Taproot Wizards. The original Taproot Wizards are worth around 0.21 BTC (~$27,000), and this new collection has lore implications for that ecosystem.
- **One Year of Shape is a low-supply art mint** [17:55] — A 365-piece art collection on Shape capturing the network's first-year data — transaction volume and activity — as unique works. It also offers potential Shape airdrop exposure and is being embraced by the art world.
- **Faster sharing on Twitter** [20:44] — The host will now share new NFT finds and bullish lists on Twitter more quickly, so followers should check there for time-sensitive whitelist opportunities before they appear in videos.

### Conclusion

The current NFT market rewards selective, low-risk plays: free mints, small supplies, and original-art narratives outperform bloated hyped mints. To succeed, do your own napkin math and be ready to sell into hype rather than hold everything long-term.

## Transcript

going live today. What happened over the past week in the world of NFTs and what Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another CryptoGorilla video. The largest what's bigger than the stratosphere. It's big. That's what she said. As
usual, I'm not a financial adviser. Hit the subscribe button and let's jump right into it. Starting off outside of the NFT world as there is a opportunity going live today with Sugar which is a brand new memecoin launchpad which is
supposed to drop at 100 p.m. Eastern. And of course I want to shill my description or the comment section below this video. However, what we've typically seen with all of these launchpads is a main runner. Of course,
well, but I'm going to be trying to catch the main one. For example, on Heaven, we had the Litecoin that ran all the way up to 250 mil FDV and it took a while to run, right? It wasn't like a pump and dump like a Yeezycoin. You had
time to get into this, to find it, and to really figure out the narrative. So on Sugar. However, I also like the platform that they've built. They have some really good ideas. For example, I had no idea that every time a token
graduated, 20 Salana is just locked up forever. So, they seem to have found a giving it back to the users. So, that's great. It's more money for the trenches to play with. But then on top of that, if you go to the platform, of course,
platform has a point system, which they promise an airdrop that never happens. And there is going to be an airdrop for this. Uh there's also going to be some fee reduction. Again, every platform has that. But what's cool on this one is as
be earning tickets. And with these tickets, according to their docs, you're going to be able to trade them in for a multiplier on your cashback rewards. Or game, you could just trade them in directly for discounted rewards. So cool
idea all around just for trading. And they did partner with Axiom. So you platform. You can actually trade with an Axiom. Link to Axiom also in the telling you to ape your life savings into memecoins, but this is definitely
trying to catch some runners because typically day one is when all the opportunity is. But now, let's jump into the wonderful world of NFTTS, which this many of which performed well, and they were mostly in the art and DGEN world.
So, the first DJ mint we had was painted JPEGs, which did have a lot of FUD around it. they advertised it as a free mint and then it felt like last second they showed up and said hey 50% of our supply is going to be public and it's 20
bucks or they like raised it and ended up being 0.005 05. But despite all of that, despite the FUD, the project did decently well. Like it ended up being a little over a 3x at the top. And that's if you minted public. If you had
whitelist, this was purely free money. So GG to anybody who minted. And of something you hold longterm. Now it's pretty much down bad 50% down from the public price. But you know, if if you sold, this was a win. Moving on, we had
three Arts that actually did really well. The first one was Malow Inc. And funny enough, I did have or we did have white list for this in my community, white list for this in my community, Gorilla Labs. I minted for 0.0125.
They did have a public round at roughly 0.02. That minted out pretty slow. Like we were just sitting in the voice chat minting it on multiple wallets and nobody was really botting it. But then we noticed that a ton of top traders
started to sweep. We were getting a bunch of pings on our wallet trackers. Eventually, Dingling even came in and swept 50, which fully sent this project swept 50, which fully sent this project all the way up to 0.0. 055. So over a 4x
over a 2x if you bought in the public round. But once again, this one also revealed even though it's not a den mint, right? It's an artbased project and it is now under the public mint price. After that, yesterday we had
these PF Pepes, which this one I completely missed. I only saw it because it got pinged on our tracker. But this one also did really good. Currently one also did really good. Currently sitting at an 065 ETH floor from a mint
price of roughly 01. I know it says less than that here, but I saw varying mint prices across different NFTts. So, let's just call it a 6 and 1 halfx from here. And I know this art stuff can be tough if you're struggling. I do have a list
that I've been curating over the past year about just for artists. I'll put it in the description down below. You can just add it uh on Twitter by going to lists and doing add list. So, at the moment, it's made up of over like 200
artists. And you can see right here uh Scrypto or I don't know how to pronounce this. He was shilling, you know, BF Pepe's three hours ago. So, if you shilling it or mentioning it, I won't say shill it because artists don't
necessarily shill. Uh, this could have been a play. I missed it, but it's a want to get into the art world. So, I'll put that down below. But the main art mint that did really well or that I really liked was Momentos by Modest. And
this was a unique mint. I think a lot of people didn't understand it or they didn't even know about Momento, right? like the typical uh NFT trader. It that, but what these are are tokens to claim his future art, whether it's allow
lists, get a custom one of one piece, whatever. So, this was a 7K supply and you could mint up to 42 per wallet. My entire server was whitelisted for round three. So, we had plenty of opportunity to get in in the third phase. And if you
did mint all 42, which I did, however, I'm still holding because I really like this artist and I want to wait till the first event before even using them because like I said, you could burn them and redeem stuff and it makes the supply
deflationary. But if you did mint all 42 and you were just here for a flip, at one point they went above 0.05. So you could have made at least 0.01 per NFT. If you sold all 42, that's42 ETH or roughly $1,800 at current prices. So, I
especially when he introduces the first experience and the first burn and they just get that deflationary action. So, know the main mint that everybody probably wants me to talk about is going
to be Cerebro. This was definitely the most anticipated mint of the week and hype. People were bull posting it on Twitter. Literally, every NFT KO was soughta. I was constantly getting pinged to know about my raffle uh for this
project and we even saw whitelist trading for as high as $1,300 in exverse crazy. I always try to ignore it as much as possible. It can be tempting to use it as like a bull post or engagement farm but I never believe the prices that
I'm seeing. Now I also put out this tweet asking like what price do you think it's going to trade at? And we saw some really high numbers like 0 6.5 you know 0 2 is fairly reasonable but point4.3 a lot of those like I gotta be
real here I didn't really speak about this publicly that much like I've known MAV for 3 or 4 years now so it's always you know a little bit awkward talking my server on Monday we do that every single Monday where we discuss the
market what we're looking forward to how we played certain things and I expressed my opinion there but I have previously spoken to him I think three times we discussed the product before it even started being built I believe and then
as it was going along and then we also discussed the mint structure which I had expressed like I'm not a fan of a large supply as well as a large price like I did not want to see a 7K supply as well as a 0.08 08 men price. I completely
agree for NFTTS in this current market it is very high. Now the people complaining like oh they raised 2.5 million. I believe if they just dropped a token raise they could have raised way more than 2.5 million. So I don't care
good for them. Like more power to you. Use it to go build your product. But I was thrown off a bit with the current market conditions. Like we just saw the subfoundation uh NFT launch and these guys raised like $20 million for their
company not through the NFT. The NFT was 0.1 for a,000 uh NFTs. So uh $430,000 at current prices and this is only a 1K supply. So 17th of the supply of Cerebro
at.33. Like it's been bouncing between 0.25 and.35. And that's despite a ton of whales as well as the team sweeping the floor. So in my mind, I was already thinking like there's no way this thing's going to 3.4.5 like some people
were hoping for or paying whitelist for. To me that's just completely crazy. I was thinking more around the range of 1.5. Like to me a 2x flip on this would have been great. And at the high end maybe it pumps up all the way to 02. Now
one unfortunate thing that apparently happened is botter minted a ton like some memecoin botters and it was stuck in the contract or something. Don't that I heard. It was like stuck in the contract. So, a way to get them out is
they're accepting offers to themselves on Magic Eden. You could see all of these 0.001 offers. That way, they don't have to pay any fees on it. And then floor, which is really hurting the floor. It's currently basically around
mint price, which I find is not good because people were so hyped about this. And essentially the team raised $2.5 million, but the community crypto Twitter, nobody got a win. Only the people who immediately sold got a win.
price fearful that it's going to go under the mint price. Now, on a positive the tool. I haven't used it too much myself. I like Captain Y did tell me he pretty much stopped using DBank and Asset Dash because he much prefers using
their wallet manager. I don't know about the AI side. I feel it's way too early for anybody to be seriously using an AI portfolio manager. Like I would never trust it until it's fully tested and shows that it can give me some serious
returns. But product aside, like people don't care about the product when they what's next for the NFTs? Well, we still have a token as well as an airdrop. You can farm gems on the platform and the NFT acts as a booster. I would have
loved to see the NFT have uh some access to maybe the paid tiers. For now, we in the future, but right now it's just a booster for your airdrop, but there's still going to be an airdrop in the future. So, I would do some napkin math.
Figure out like, okay, if it's 50 mil FTV and they give us 10%, what's that airdrop going to be worth per NFT? And then, you know, just play with a bunch think it's going to be at, what price you're going to get aird dropped, and
considering buying in. Now, I see people saying this thing's going to 004. Personally, I'd be sweeping at 0.04 4 because I feel they calculated that 0.08 08 mint price with the airdrop in mind and the valuations that they have in
back to the community and make them happy let's do this airdrop let's do this mint price and you know that's how they did it out so I assume the airdrop is going to be decent the downside here is we have no idea when the TGE date is
going to be what the allocation is going to be so there's a lot of question marks trading in the meantime so hopefully these bots get out hopefully dingling and grail because Maverick is very well connected. Come in and sweep the floor
sentiments back up because today or yesterday by the time you watch this was a pretty dark day on the timeline and in all these private chats. But enough about the past. What am I looking forward to? Well, today we have the Wall
Street Pepe NFT mint. This is actually an ETH memecoin that is going to be migrating over to Salana. It currently sits at over a $13 million market cap. they're going to be doing a soul token where you burn the ETH version. And
launching their very own NFT. And just recently, we had Bonio as well as Lil Chillers do really well. So, I'm looking forward to this one. I like the branding both around like the Wolf of Wall Street as well as the Pepe. Like, I like the
art for this collection. And on top of it, it's a free mint, so no risk. And I some meme corners like we saw with the other two collections. Now, let's take a look at some upcoming mints that I'm trying to get whitelisted for. And the
down the collab for my community, Guerilla Labs. And that is going to be Crypto Lottery, which is a non-custodial IRL lottery draw, which is founded by Michael Gonzalez, who previously sold Fit T for $100 million. Now, what I like
about this NFT is it's a free mint, so there's zero risk. It's going to be on there's zero risk. It's going to be on Salana and it is a very small supply at 150. So, it's going to be really hard to get your hands on a whitelist. However,
if you do, I believe it can do well because of the utility behind it. And if here, there's going to be revenue sharing, which I view this as the main utility. You could just passively hold it and bring in money. And if you add
whitelist, this thing was free to mint. Now, the drawback here is they haven't yet launched the platform. So, we have no idea how much they're bringing in. to be, nor do we know how many users they have. However, if it is a success,
it could end up being a lot of money. Now, there's also some other benefits if this kind of stuff. There's going to be free weekly bonuses. There's going to be free weekly entries, some bonus ticket multipliers, jackpot revenue bonuses,
early access to token rounds, as well as IRL events. So, it's packed with utility. Again, the main one I'm looking at is going to be that revenue sharing based on how well this product actually does. Next on our list, we have
Shrimpers. And this one is the flagship collection for Anom. And for some reason, I'm getting so many DMs of people asking me for an AMA code. I have no idea how to get Anoma codes. Okay, I've tried DMing the team. Uh if look,
some code so I could give it out to everybody. And they stopped messaging me. But this is the flagship collection. And when you look at any flagship, like any main collection of a new chain, it does well typically, right? As long as
there's enough interest. But the main one usually does well. And this was actually retweeted by the main Anom account as well as the entire team. And it got crazy engagement. So, in my opinion, this is definitely a must-have.
So, it seems like they're giving away a lot of whitelists on their Twitter. Discord. So, you know, if you're into the Discord grind, get in there and try to get yourself a whitelist. Now, next on the list, we have the Bitcoin Wizards
by Mavenbot. Now, this art might look familiar, and it should because Mavenbot is actually the creator of the meme behind the original Bitcoin Wizard that inspired the Taproot Wizards art. And these things are sitting at, you know,
0.21 Bitcoin, which is not a small amount of money. That's like $27,000 at current Bitcoin prices. But now the artist behind the meme is launching his wants to do in the past. And I don't know, like there's a lot of lore behind
don't know what's going to happen to the Taproot Wizards when another wizard by the original artist comes out. However, if we look at his profile here, he says creator of the the meme behind Bitcoin Wizards and Magic Internet Moneycoin,
Mimcoin Bitcoin. And if we go on the MIM page, this is a coin that already friends, because I'm not that big on Runes, are telling me if they do announce it gives you whitelist, like this thing is a good 2x or whatever. We
recently did see it pump after, where is it? Coinbase tweeted this. They used Grock to create it as an image and Elon Musk retweeted and commented on it. So, come back down, but this definitely helped give it a lot of hype. Another
one that I'm seeing on a lot of people's lists is going to be lamu.xyz. XYZ and this is the official collection of common.xyz XYZ. And although I haven't done a crazy deep dive into this, I got to say I really like the branding of
at the product, if somebody launched this, I feel they would do really well. point. But this is one of the collections that a ton of people are requesting whitelist for. And I believe whitelist for first come first, I could
be wrong about this, but for first come first serve, I believe it's selling for over $100. So definitely worth paying attention to even though you know like we saw Exverse is usually wrong with people's predictions of prices like
Cerebro selling at $1,300 but it's a good indication of what people are hungry for. After that on Hyperlid we have Catball. Now I've been hearing about Catball for a very long time. I kind of just gave up on trying to get
it. I do believe if you held their token at one point or maybe there was multiple snapshots it does get you whitelist. But this is a Hyperlid collection that has built a community and can have a very strong community on Hyperlid because
we've seen a ton of Hyperlid mints completely flop recently. Most of them break out at like two hype which is what like 80 bucks. Uh so most people just stop caring about Hyperlid mints. So hopefully this does bring back some
attention there. But then moving on to Mega E which in my recent videos I have said Mega E has been struggling. If we look at Bad Buns, they have been on a continuous bleed. So, I'm really hoping for something to turn this ship around.
Ideally, Mega ETH just announcing anything about their TGE or when they're launching mainet or whatever. But that doesn't mean I'm not still bullish on Mega E mints. I do think Megaachi is going to do well. It's a free mint and
it is very low supply and he's continuing to put things out. Whenever going nuts for it. So, I do think this one is still worth getting. Again, low the other one is going to be Digit Rabbits, which they released a really
cool website where you can actually get whitelist through the website. So definitely worth checking it out. They have games, they have a point system. So below for you guys. After that, we have an art mint called one year of shape.
And this is actually going to be on shape, which I've been collecting the uh get points, and you're actually going to get a shape airdrop for it. However, I have no idea when the shape airdrop is going to happen. However, uh the art is
essentially capturing every single day of shape over its first year. So, he's taking like the transaction volume, he's taking all the activity, and he's creating all of these unique pieces from it. And I think it could be a really
seen some of these do really well when it's embraced by the art world. And it does seem based on the engagement like it's being embraced by the shape team. entire collection. I'm very good friends with the artist here. So I'm definitely
biased, but a low supply art mint when art has been doing so well. There's only going to be 365 of these since there's 365 days in a year. I would definitely especially if you want that exposure to shape. Next on the list, and like I
of these. Uh we have the I don't even know what this collection is called. Okay, it's still TBA. However, this is by the illustrator for Sproto Gremlins. So give him a follow. Again, link down below and try to like simp for whitelist
not doing collabs. I have a chat with him, but eventually there's going to be whitelists for these. And if it falls in the whole memecoin meta, ideally these can do really well. Next up, we have the glitchy bunnies. And I actually really
like the art for this collection. Uh the artist is Jay. I would definitely go because he's very active on Twitter. However, I really love the art for eth collection because it's bunnies, it would have absolutely slapped instead of
megalios because I really dig the art for these. I think he's doing a really good job with the memes. He's really taking his time to build up a community forward to seeing this collection come to life and I feel this could be a a
real winner. Uh purely based on the art, the memes, and just like Jay's vibes, he After that, we have this Napo character, which this is going to be a free mint. It reminds me a lot of like Nub, uh, just a different color. So, not much to
say about it. I like it and I'm looking forward to the mint. We also have full entire video, Gorilla Labs, but we're doing really well. So, uh, full check us out in the description down below. As for some degen mints, uh, this
one popped on my radar just a day ago. Uh, it's called Elder Dgens. So, I really like these. They have like some elder punks. I find it looks really cool and it feel it's been a while since we had a punk derivative do well. So
one that I'm looking at is going to be ETH hackers. Again, these are just DGEN mints, right? I'm not expecting any road map, none of that. I'm just looking for some good DGEN plays on the secondary market. So, this is another one I'm
like videos just aren't even appropriate cuz what can I even say about if you want, follow me on Twitter and I'm going to be dropping lists from now on on things that I'm bullish on, brand new things that I find. Like, I never
something. I always save it for a video. to get yourself whitelist. So, I'm going to be sharing a lot faster on Twitter. So, again, give me a follow. If you appreciated this video, give it a thumbs
up. If you haven't already done so, would you kindly hit that subscribe Thank you for watching another CryptoGorilla video. CryptoGorilla video. Peace.
