On Monday, BaviBull made waves around the swamp after purchasing Bored Ape #6410, a five trait Trippy with sad eyes and a sleeveless tee, for 25 ETH, or $46,000 USD.

When most couples get married, they promise to have and to hold one another from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. But for one Bored Ape Yacht Club couple, you can add one more vow to that list: ape together! When BAYC member Ed's wife said, "I do," she probably never imagined that one day she'd join an online club of cartoon monkeys. But on Monday, that became her reality after she officially joined the best club
