Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT sells for record $2.25m at Sotheby’s

A Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT has sold for $2.25m in a record sale that marks the opening of the landmark BAYC Sotheby’s auction.

Bored Ape #7090 is one of the rarest apes available due to its “solid gold fur” property and marks the highest sale yet for the collection. Previously, the highest sale was for Bored Ape #8135, which sold for 500 ETH (1.8m) just four days ago.

The Bored Ape was purchased by NFT collector (Twitter Robistraveling) who took to Twitter following the purchase to thank the BAYC community.

“It has been a pleasure and a privilege,” he said.

“This sale will serve as a stepping stone for #BAYC reaching new record highs :)”.
