Closing 2022 at an index of 9,248 ETH, Blue Chip NFTs suffered a drop in value, data from NFTGo revealed. 
Blue Chip NFTs are a subcategory of the broader NFT market that is considered to be of high quality and value. Examples include Bored Ape Yacht Club [BAYC], Mutant Ape Yacht Club [MAYC], Crypto Punks, and Meebits.
According to NFTGo, the Blue Chip Index is calculated by weighing the market capitalization of Blue Chip NFT collections to determine their performance. In 2022, Blue Chip Index fell by 36%. 
The decline in the value of Blue Chip NFTs in 2022 mirrored the general market sentiment towards NFTs. This was because many viewed these digital collectibles as luxury items during a bull market rather than stable and inflation-proof investment vehicles.
