A rare Bored Ape Yach Club NFT has sold at auction for a record $3.4 million USD.
“It’s not often that you see a Bored Ape with gold fur come up for sale, and this is the first time Bored Ape Yacht Club #8817 has been made available since it was minted,” Sotheby’s explained. “Less than 1% of all Bored Apes have the gold fur trait, making it an NFT with historical significance.”
Previously, the record for the most expensive single Bored Ape NFT purchase stood at 740 Ethereum — roughly $2.9 million USD at the time — and was set in September.
