For the second time in two weeks, a well-known serial NFT-burner bought a Bored Ape for about $21,600 and set it on fire on purpose — and the collection's own holders are framing the stunt less as vandalism and more as proof that BAYC is still the collection everyone can't stop talking about. The attention lands the same week Yuga published the full four-day lineup for ApeFest Charleston, October 15-18, built around a main night at Beeple Studios. Elsewhere, today's richest sale went to a Lil Pudgy carrying the GRAIL-tier Orange trait, which sold for 7.8 ETH — about $19,961, 27.4 times its floor.
