BAYC Asks Why Members ‘Stick Round’ on Third Anniversary

BAYC’s Progressive Journey

Reflecting on BAYC’s early days, some followers took to the thread to debate the first-ever Bored Ape NFTs. These have been initially priced at simply 0.08 ETH (about $235.82) and offered out inside 12 hours throughout their ‘pre-mint’ part.

BAYC had a lot to mirror on yesterday. In lower than two years after the gathering’s initiation, its recognition soared, resulting in a record-breaking $3.four million sale for probably the most priceless Ape ever offered (BAYC #8817). 

The mission has attracted a star-studded list of holders from varied fields, together with Justin Bieber, Eminem, Serena Williams, Stephen Curry, Shaquille O’Neal, and Jimmy Fallon. 

Leveraging the funds amassed from gross sales, BAYC has opened its personal wine company, taken over Roblox, designed streetwear with BAPE, crafted immersive games, and joined the metaverse—even with the likes of Adidas—to call just a few.

BMW notably took to X to increase heat birthday needs to the Ape crew, expressing, “Let’s go ape in Portugal“, teasing the potential of one thing thrilling brewing between the 2 manufacturers for the upcoming occasion.

Regardless of a loyal fan base and various ventures, gross sales for the NFT mission have declined since peaking. Day by day gross sales, which hit $53 million in August 2021, have now dropped to $458,856, as per CryptoSlam knowledge.

Even in a slowdown, BAYC stays sturdy. Yesterday’s sale of BAYC #8944 for $44,817 (13.7800 ETH) highlights its ongoing enchantment, bolstered by its energetic group.
