According to the specialist, the team is preventing sales from investors who are trying to exit the project on the over-the-counter market. She is not interested in revaluing the NFT marketplace at a 90% discount.
As of August 31, OpenSea has disabled its on-chain tool Operator Filter, which collects royalties. The decision did not receive the support the team expected.

At the end of the last summer month, trading volume on OpenSea decreased to $106 million – the minimum since April 2021.
