The prices of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs once rivaled those of Ferraris fresh off the assembly line. Nowadays, the JPEGs cost as much as your average used car.
When the collection’s maker Yuga Labs teased details about its upcoming Otherside game—which is still under development—the market for Bored Apes was frothy. Around that time, Apes reached a peak minimum price of 152 ETH, or $429,000, in April 2022.
Compared to the collection’s aforementioned peak minimum price—also referred to as floor price—Ape prices have plummeted around 93% to $27,600, according to Crypto Slam. In ETH terms, the collection’s floor price has fallen 91% to 11 ETH from 128 ETH.
The price of an Ape briefly trended upward after falling to multi-year lows last month. Amid a global market sell-off in August, the collection’s floor price dipped to $20,000. After rising to $39,000, however, it’s fallen back down to where it was before the crash.
Meanwhile, several companies that jumped feet first into the Ape world have shifted direction. That includes Tally Labs, which once created a sprawling universe and storyline around Jenkins the Valet, a personified version of Bored Ape #1798.
