Bored Ape Yacht Club or BAYC is one of the most popular and most expensive NFT collections that have ever been created. This NFT collection was the work of Yuga Labs. In a recent turn of events, it has been confirmed by the creator that it has also bought Meebits and CryptoPunks, two of the hottest and most trending NFT collections out there.

Yuga Labs bought Meebits and CryptoPunks

Yuga Labs has confirmed the purchase of Meebits and CryptoPunks from Larva Labs, a team of creative technologists, Matt Hall and John Watkinson. CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters in which no two characters are alike and are one of the oldest collections in the NFT industry. Moreover, Meebits are over 20,000 unique 3D voxel characters, created by a custom generative algorithm. 

Yuga Labs confirmed that they "now own the brands, copyright in the art, and other IP rights for both collections, along with 423 CryptoPunks and 1711 Meebits." The official statement from the new owners also stated:

This acquisition does not mean that Matt and John are joining Yuga. They’re going to continue running Larva Labs and will keep doing what they do best: creating awesome projects that help shape the future of web3.

The next step

As per the official statement, Yuga Labs "will soon be granting CryptoPunks and Meebits holders the same commercial rights that BAYC and MAYC owners enjoy." New terms and conditions are being drafted and soon, the new owners will release them to the community members. They also aim to align the two collections with web3 ethos and as a result, the new owners "expect a wide range of third party developers and community creators to incorporate CryptoPunks and Meebits into their web3 projects."
While we will work to bring additional utility to both the CryptoPunks and Meebits collections, we intend to do so as thoughtful stewards. We’re not in a rush here. We’ll be listening to the community before we decide what comes next.

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.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
