It is an NFT from collector Deepak Thapliyal, the CdEO of Web3 cloud software startup Chain. He sold his rare NFT to the illustrious collector Keung, who works under a pseudonym.
“Thanks @dt_chain for the good deal,” Keung tweeted to Deepak Thapliyal. Most Bored Ape NFTs have lost large amounts of their value in recent months. The Bored Ape Justin Bieber bought for $1.3 million worth of Ethereum earlier this year is now worth just $69,000.
What makes this Bored Ape special?
Unlike Justin Bieber’s Bored Ape, Keung’s is a lot rarer. Less than 0.5 percent of all Bored Apes have golden fur. It ranks 324th on the 10,000 Bored Apes ranking. Incidentally, the seller Thapliyal is also a well-known collector who set a record when purchasing a CryptoPunk.
The entrepreneur paid 8,000 Ethereum for this, which was worth $ 23.7 million at the time. He recently had to share with regret that most NFTs are for sale, because his company Chain has been hit hard by the problems at FTX.
The CryptoPunk for which he had to pay $ 23.7 million will not be sold. He later deleted these tweets, meaning he may have changed his mind. On the other hand, it doesn’t make your negotiating position any stronger if you say in advance that you have to sell them.
