Remilia NFTs: Paving the Way for Price Resurgence

Following the recent craze around meme coins, attention has now shifted to the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Specifically, the Remilia NFTs, including the Milady Maker and Redacted Remilio Babies collections, have taken center stage. These Chibi-style NFT collections have gained notoriety for their confrontations with other NFT communities, such as Bored Apes and Azukis. Their floor prices have soared while established blue-chip collections experienced declines. This surge in popularity can be attributed to the growing adoption among influential crypto figures and protocols, as well as Elon Musk’s endorsement of Miladies through a tweet. Remilios, a newer and more affordable collection, have seen their value grow even faster, captivating the attention of traders.
