According to the NFT collector called Derek.eth on Twitterthe Bored Ape NF numbered 1,837 has been sold to an anonymous buyer who decided to spend 569 ETH on it.
Earlier, Deepak (Derek) sold the piece for 690,420 ETH. This amount refers to widely known “meme numbers” often used by Musk in his tweets. But later, he lowered the price for the piece to 569 ETH, probably to sell it faster.

The Bored Ape #1837 was sold to a buyer who used Moonpay. So it is rumored that Musk could be the buyer and he has used Moonpay to buy the NFT anonymously. That theory was also shared by blockchain insider Colin Wu via his Twitteraccount.
The only thing that goes against this theory is Musk’s statements to the NFT world. The Tesla CEO recently called out to the Twitter management team about the plethora of bots promoting NFT scams under every Twitter post.
Despite yesterday’s sharp correction in the crypto market, the NFT industry does not seem to be suffering from the pressure. The price of almost all major NFT objects remained the same or even increased.
