The NFT craze continues as the famous BAYC NFTs made headlines on Tuesday. Amid the falling NFT prices, an NFT whale added another prized NFT to his collection for millions.
NFT collector, Vis.ETH bought Gold Bored Ape #5383 for 777 ETH which converts to roughly $1,478,000 at the time of purchase. The million-dollar sale sent the BAYC collection’s median price to a new 2-month high.
BAYC #5383 is a six-trait gold fur ape with a lumberjack shirt, angry eyes and a bored unshaven mouth. It is the 320th rarest primate in the collection.
When the Bored Ape Gazette reached out to Vis.ETH regarding his purchase, he said,
“I wanted to collect a golden monkey,” Vis.Eth told the Gazette. “777eth is a suitable price. Yuga will be the first successful social verse.”
