For everyone else I'll breakdown the gist of it.

Post-merge, both sales volume and prices of NFTs have surged.

• OpenSea, saw trading volume increase 77% to $10 million as of Thursday afternoon
• The average price of an NFT on the platform soared 227% to $114 early Thursday, but has settled at $105, a 74% increase from the day before
• Even Magic Eden, which mostly sells Solana-based NFTs, experienced a boost, with volume rising 36% to $4.6 million before currently has $4.4 million in sales, a 19% increase from the day before
• Bored Ape Yacht Club saw $1.3 million in sales as Thursday afternoon, a 187% increase from 24 hours before
• CryptoPunks recorded a rise in trading volume of 56% to $1.4 million for the same period

Sales have somewhat settled but are still higher the prior to the merge as of the last end-of-day sales of 15th September.
