One of the biggest NFT sales in history 

Two auctions took place at Sotheby's this week, both from Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club, or BAYC, which launched in April. The first collection to be auctioned was a bundle of 101 bored apes together with six serums from the mutant ape collection. The auction was expected to fetch about $18 million but surpassed that figure, reaching $24.4 million. 

The second auction was a bundle of 101 Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs that sold for $1.8 million. This is interesting because Bored Ape Kennel Club was an NFT collection created as an airdrop for Ape owners and given away for free.

A bundle of nine CryptoPunks sold for $16.9 million at auction in May. And Beeple sold a collage of his works as NFT for $69 million in March. Auction houses are seriously interested in NFTs, and with the upcoming auction at Christie's, it seems the adventures of the bored apes are not over yet. 

What is the Bored Ape Yacht Club? 

Owning an NFT of the Bored Ape Yacht Club gives you access to a community and membership in an exclusive club. Members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club receive benefits by holding an ape and get free airdrops such as the dog they received as a gift, or more recently by owning an ape, you were airdropped a Mutant Serum from the Mutant Ape Yacht Club collection via airdrop.

But it's not just about the airdrop, as members also become part of a community and meet new people they would not usually meet in life. Even celebrities like Stephen Curry, 3Lau, and Gary Vee are part of the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
