The rare style “Bored Ape Yacht Club” NFT was sold at an auction earlier for a record price of $3.4 million. “Bored Ape Yacht Club” #8817 is a 10,000 piece made by Yuga Lab in the Ethereum blockchain. One of the apes was sold at Sotheby’s “Natively Digital 1.2: The Collectors” auction on Tuesday. This auction is the first auction launched by Sotheby’s newly launched “Metaverse” digital art platform. Due to the rarity of the collection, it is also known as the “historical NFT.”
Sotheby’s said: “It’s rare to see Bored Ape with golden hair on sale. This is the first time that “Bored Ape Yacht Club” #8817 has been listed since the casting. Less than 1% of Bored Ape has golden hair characteristics, making it a Historically significant NFT.” Prior to this, the highest price of a single piece of “Bored Ape Yacht Club” was set at 740 ETH in September, which was about US$2.9 million at that time.
