Q73. Catalina Whales are a popular NFT collection on Solana with an experienced team from the entertainment industry. Chart their sales history and unique holder trends over time. The project has a tier system of holders (5 whales gets you tier 2 status and 10 whales gets you tier 3 status), has this noticeably influenced wallet activity? The project recently announced that you had to own a whale before 5/11 at noon EST in order to qualify for the whitelist of an extremely hyped mint Bubblegoose Ballers along with other benefits. How has that influenced sales activity and holder activity over the past few weeks?"

Analysis

Whales mint details from the past - 2021-12-17

Catalina Whales mint date was December 17th, 2021. 5555 Whales where minted by 2169 wallets.

The main mint was over in less than 10 minutes!

Most wallets minted less then 10 whales, only 63 wallets minted more then 10 Catalina Whales!

Catalina Whales sales history

We see a lot of sales in the first days after mint on secondary market, but after a few days the number of sales decreased and swinging in numbers below 100. There is only a small uptrend/spike visible on April 25th, so I guess the Whitelist option for whale holders was communicated there.

In total 3,876 NFTs have changed owners since mint date. ??????????????? Check numbers! Purchases on mint date!!!!

The chart above shows the unique holders for Catalina Whales on the last date where the holder changed. We can see that 1989 NFTs where held by the initial mint wallets! These have never been sold on the secondary market. That means also that 3566 Whales were traded at least one time on secondary market.
