Another First from Bored Ape Yacht Club! Broke a Record on Twitter!
Bored Ape Yacht Club, arguably one of the best NFT collections, became the first collection to reach 1 million followers on Twitter. Twitter is the primary social media platform for NFT and cryptocurrency news and conversations. BAYC has also achieved another first. With 1 million followers, BAYC has cemented its place as one of the top collections. In comparison, the CryptoPunks collection, which is just as well-known as BAYC, has 245,000 followers.
Bored Ape Yacht Club was created by Yuga Labs, the company that recently acquired Cryptopunks. The collection is a 10,000-piece NFT collection. In December 2021, BAYC surpassed Cryptopunks' base price of 60 ETH on OpenSea. This event was dubbed 'the flipping'. Since then, they have never fallen back. They are also innovating further to secure the top spot in NFTs, as evidenced by their 1 million follower achievement.
Nowadays, it seems like many celebrities or brands have a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT. To name a few, we can cite Steph Curry, Mark Cuban, Snoop Dogg and the recently announced Major League Soccer, who 'signed' an NFT from the collection. Beyond NFTs, Yuga Labs hosts events on behalf of Bored Ape Yacht Club. It makes products and builds Metaverse platforms.
With reaching 1 million followers, they have much more potential for growth. However, the number of people participating in the BAYC Twitter Spaces celebrating the achievement of 1 million followers is 15,600. The team noted the activity of people in the NFT scene. Of course, due to the bear market, low prices, people are less interested in NFTs in general. But this means nothing for Bored Ape Yacht Club as a brand. Twitter is the social media hub of NFTs, along with Discord and Telegram. But Twitter undoubtedly takes the highest place among them. Many brands have made a name for themselves on this platform. This is evidenced by the fact that BAYC has reached 1 million followers. Analyzing some NFT collections, RTFKT Studios has 366,000 followers. Cryptopunks has 245,000 followers, while Moonbirds has 206,000 followers.
