Just saw that Sotheby's is actually auctioning off a golden gorilla NFT from Yuga Labs. Pretty wild that a major auction house is getting into this space. They're including a Bored Ape Yacht Club piece too, which honestly makes sense given how much attention that collection still gets.

The whole thing is basically testing whether gorilla-themed digital assets still have real staying power in the art market. Like, we've seen the NFT hype cycle, but apparently collectors are still willing to bid on these pieces at actual galleries. A gorilla NFT at Sotheby's feels like we're in a different era now compared to a few years ago.

Curious to see what the final bids look like. Could tell us a lot about whether the market actually values these digital artworks or if it's just nostalgia at this point. The fact that they're mixing BAYC with other rare digital works suggests they're treating gorilla NFT projects as legitimate collectibles now. Interesting timing for this kind of auction.
