Yuga Labs, the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, or BAYC, collection declined to comment.

The collection, which once had a slew of celebrities promoting the NFTs, first launched three years ago in April 2021. While the overall NFT market, especially for pricey, profile-picture tokens, has been depressed for quite some time, BAYC has often been regarded as the market's biggest success story, boasting an engaged community and popular iterative collections.

Historically, BAYC is the top NFT collection, among the collectibles market, by sales volume, having registered more than $3 billion, according to CryptoSlam! data.

BAYCs acquired by notable celebrities likeKevin Hartand Justin Bieber have later went on to sell for a fraction of their original price. The current floor price is more than 90% below BAYC's all-time high floor price of 128 ether (now about $395,000), which it hit in April 2022, according to NFT Price Floor.

Crypto startup firm MoonPayhelped facilitateHart’s purchase of a BAYC in 2022. The companyreportedlyalso gifted other celebrities BAYC NFTs in exchange for promoting MoonPay. The list of celebrities included Hart, Bieber,Madonnaand Jimmy Fallon.

MoonPay, however, denied giving celebrities NFTs for free.

Aclass action lawsuitwas filed in late 2022 that alleging celebrities publicly promoted Bored Apes and MoonPay without disclosing either their financial interests in the companies or if they had received compensation.

In February, Yuga Labs replaced its CEO, former Activision Blizzard executive Daniel Alegre, with Yuga co-founder Greg Solano. That same month, Yuga Labs alsoacquiredrival non-fungible token creator Proof, which is best known for its Moonbirds collection.

The River Plate Machine
Digital illustration for the cover of These Football Times magazine in its issue dedicated to the Argentine football team "Club Atlético River Plate". Original from 2020. For this cover I have created a complex machine that links all the generations and legends of the club with its great shield and emblem crowning the center as the heart of the fantasy machinery. Full of details and ornaments this is a highly detailed work. An authentic trip to the history of River through the imagination and the colors of the club. The most significant titles of the club are also included, such as the Libertadores Cup, the famous Intercontinental and the new Super Liga and the Argentine Cup in its newest cup design.
