The previous high belongs to token #3749<\/a>. In September 2021, it was sold for 740 ETH (~$2.9 million at the time of the sale).<\/p>\n

In recent weeks the NFT sector has faced a sharp downturn: trading volumes and token prices have fallen. The current minimum price for BAYC tokens sits at 31 ETH (~$58,000).<\/p>\n

According to data from NFT Price Floor<\/a>, this week’s floor for assets from the popular collection stood at 28 ETH, the lowest reading in more than 18 months.<\/p>\n

Yuga Labs, the company that created BAYC, is not greatly concerned about the situation.<\/p>\n
