Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs saw demand skyrocket in the last 24 hours. The collection’s 24-hour trading volumes surged by 176%. The rise can largely be attributed to increased whale buying, as the floor price of the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection dropped below key levels.
BAYC is a unique collection of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, continuing to gain interest from celebrities, businesspeople, and crypto whales. Given that the apes are priced in ETH, their USD floor price has seen a sharp fall in recent weeks, tracking a decline in the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency.
