DETROIT, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on rapid growth in 2020, StockX reports a record-breaking Cyber Weekend, with daily gross merchandise value (GMV) averaging 100% growth compared to the same four-day period in 2019. The platform also set a new single-day trade record on Black Friday and a single-day GMV record on Cyber Monday. On Black Friday, StockX saw an average of one trade per second and exceeded a rate of three trades per second at peak shopping times throughout Cyber Weekend. With pandemic-induced concerns pushing more people to shop online, StockX saw 10 million visitors between Friday, Nov. 27 and Monday, Nov. 30 — a new record that comes on the heels of the company reporting 25 million monthly visitors for the first time in its third quarter.

In addition to facilitating a record number of individual trades throughout the weekend, StockX saw a surge of new customers, with nearly 100,000 new buyers making their first-ever StockX purchase during Cyber Weekend. During the four-day shopping event, more than 20,000 different types of products were sold on StockX, with sneakers and gaming consoles topping the best-sellers list.

Next-Gen Gaming Consoles Dominate Electronics Category
Throughout Cyber Weekend, more than one gaming console was traded every minute on StockX. The Xbox Series X leads the way as the best-selling system, holding the No. 4 spot on the list. The Sony PlayStation 5 is closely trailing Xbox's latest release, landing the No. 5 spot on the list.

Jordan Brand Releases Top Best-Sellers List
The two best-selling sneakers are from Jordan Brand, and both dropped over the weekend. The Jordan 4 Fire Red — No. 1 on the list — was released on Nov. 28 and saw more than 1,800 trades in a single hour after it released Saturday morning. The Grade School version of the sneaker also made the top 10 list, coming in at No. 8. The Jordan 1 Black Metallic Gold was released on Cyber Monday, and in less than three hours had already climbed to the No. 2 spot on the list. In terms of release day trade totals, both the Fire Red Jordan 4 and the Metallic Gold Jordan 1 rank among the ten biggest sneaker releases in StockX history. Coming in at No. 6 is the Jordan 1 Mocha, a sneaker that bears a close resemblance to the highly-coveted Travis Scott Jordan 1. Its connection to the Travis Scott colorway coupled with the overwhelming popularity of the iconic Jordan 1 silhouette helped this shoe rise to the top.
