Eight BAYC and MAYC NFTs Are Entering LACMA's Permanent Collection

Eight BAYC and MAYC pieces are entering LACMA's permanent collection as part of a gift of more than 200 digital artworks, funded through the ApeCoin DAO's Digital Art Move — the museum is framing it as spanning six decades of digital art history, not a one-off stunt. The ecosystem is running hot elsewhere too: a rare Bored Cigar ape just sold for $2.4 million. BAYC's Mudwater bridge to Solana is now in its fifth day, still moving holders' apes' totems across chains.

Does an NFT need to be more than a collectible?

One post asked if people still believe in NFTs; a Chogathon build answered by giving the NFT itself XP and guild history.

BAYC and MAYC enter LACMA's permanent collection

Eight pieces join a 200+ work digital art gift funded by the ApeCoin DAO — museum walls, not a marketplace listing.

BAYC's Mudwater bridge hits day five

Holders are still burning apes' Ethereum totems to claim Solana packs, five days after launch.

A Bored Cigar BAYC sold for $2.4 million

BAYC #9500's Bored Cigar trait helped it sell for $2.4M — one of the biggest tickets the index has seen in weeks.

A Chaos Otherdeed sold for $39,600

Otherdeed #12758 carries the MYTHIC Chaos trait and found a buyer at $39,551, over 200x its floor.

A Mutant Ape flipped within a day

M2 Blue Beams #24285 sold yesterday and again today for about $10,088 — a quick flip, not a one-off.

A Rubik's Cube Okay Bear sold near 5x floor

Okay Bear #459's Rubik's Cube trait helped it sell for about $560, nearly 5x floor.

📜 Transcript

ALEX: Eight Bored Apes and Mutant Apes just walked into a museum.

ALEX: LACMA is putting them in its permanent collection. Part of a gift of over two hundred digital artworks.

ALEX: Framed as six decades of digital art history. Not a marketplace stunt.

ALEX: And the ecosystem's still buzzing elsewhere. A rare ape with a Bored Cigar trait just sold for two point four million dollars.

ALEX: Meanwhile BAYC's bridge to Solana is on day five. Holders still burning their apes' Ethereum identities to claim packs on the other side.

ALEX: Rest of the chain? Mixed bag. CloneX and Doodles both drifted up. Nakamigos drifted down. Nothing dramatic.

ALEX: Ethereum's still where the money is this week, Bored Ape Yacht Club leading that by a wide margin.

ALEX: Now here's the one that actually got interesting overnight.

ALEX: Moonbirds. Floor jumped a quarter, in a single day.

ALEX: And that's not the token moving — ETH was basically flat. That's the bird.

ALEX: It's been building for a week now, roughly up a third.

ALEX: Yesterday, a collector walked in and bought five Mythic Moonbirds in one go. Right as the project's token rallied over a third.

ALEX: That's not a nibble. That's a statement.

ALEX: One top-five-hundred piece changed hands for about two thousand dollars, almost double its floor. Buyer already holds a couple more.

ALEX: And there are real names behind this collection, not just wallets. Ambassadors. A couple of well-known collectors.

ALEX: So now the timeline's arguing: is this an old blue-chip finally waking back up, or just a week where the money happened to land here?

ALEX: I don't know yet. Nobody does. But I know which chart I'm watching tomorrow.
