Solana’s collectibles wave: Metaplex Core clears 1.5 million mints over June and July

Metaplex reported over 1.5 million Core assets minted across June and July, marking consecutive record months and pushing the lifetime total beyond 8 million. During this period, Candy Digital, Beezie, and Collector Crypt also moved inventory onto the Solana standard, featuring licenses like MLB and DC Comics. The Metaplex Core standard offers lower minting costs and enforced royalties at the code level, which was a key factor for platforms like Candy Digital.
