Collector Crypt's consumption is mainly among the middle class, while Courtyard shows a polarized distribution.

Since its establishment, Courtyard's trading volume has exceeded 467 million USD, Collector Crypt has surpassed 200 million USD, Phygitals has exceeded 66.25 million USD, and Emporium is only 2.92 million USD.

In the first week of September, Collector Crypt's trading volume reached 16.35 million USD, surpassing Courtyard's 15.56 million USD for the first time during the same period. Key factors included Collector Crypt's issuance of coins on August 27, as well as the intensive exposure from Pine Analytics, Raydium, CounterParty TV, and others at the beginning of September.
