Stephen Curry is taking his basketball talents from the court to purchasing a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for 55 Ethereum (Crypto: ETH + Free Alerts) or $180,000.
Soon after he did that, Curry updated his Twitter profile picture to his ape.
The Warriors star gaines access to a members-only club. Their website explains in more detail what the club is all about.
“The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of 10,000 unique Bored Ape NFTs— unique digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain. Your Bored Ape doubles as your Yacht Club membership card, and grants access to members-only benefits, the first of which is access to THE BATHROOM, a collaborative graffiti board. Future areas and perks can be unlocked by the community through roadmap activation.”

“Curry’s bored ape has blue fur, zombie eyes, and is wearing a tweed suit. The last two are particularly rare attributes in the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), with only 3% of apes having zombie eyes and 1% of apes wearing tweed suits.
Since Curry bought the NFT, several bids have already been placed on the marketplace, with the highest bid placed at 40 ETH or $129,692. Several people have donated Curry 58 other NFTs, including a pair of scissors, a rock, and a hand-drawn edition of his Bored Ape NFT.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club consists of 10,000 randomly generated NFTs built on Ethereum, and it is one of the current hottest NFT in the market. The bored apes’ NFTs have over 170 different characteristics like outfits, headwear, fur, facial expressions, and more.”
