BAYC and Rolling Stone team up for a NFT Drop

Bored Ape Yacht Club one of the most popular NFT blockchain collections, announced that they had teamed up again with Rolling Stone for a 1/1 NFT drop (one BAYC and one MAYC).

The auction lasted four hours and they were only accepting payments of their currency the ApeCoin with a starting price equivalent to $100.

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is a collection of 10,000 unique digital collectible Bored Ape NFTs that live on the Ethereum blockchain.

The past collaboration with Rolling Stone was a digital NFT magazine cover alongside BAYC in November 2021. The magazine featured 20 pages of never-before-seen BAYC illustrations and unique designs from a range of contributors including Claire Salvo and TimpersHD.

The new digital collectibles went up for auction on OpenSea on June 22, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

In addition to the NFTs, there were collectible art prints of each design for a four-hour U.S. sale period. What was equally cool was that the winners of the two NFTs will likewise receive related physical prints, each signed by Yuga Labs founders, the artist, and Rolling Stone’s CEO.

“We are thrilled to continue partnering with Bored Ape’s Yacht Club,” said Gus Wenner, CEO of Rolling Stone, adding that “our collaboration was born out of a shared passion for music and counterculture, and we are excited to release a new set of artwork that captures the spirit of Bored Ape’s and Rolling Stone.”

MAYC Rolling Stone’s artwork depicts a daredevil ape escaping a mutant slime volcano on his motorcycle.

“We love Rolling Stone and with our second collaboration we wanted to create an awesome NFT moment and prints that were more widely accessible,” said Nicole Muniz, CEO of Yuga Labs.

It’s good to see the different collaborations that can come to exist in the NFT world, we hope to see more and more famous personalities come to this world and bring all those people who still don’t take this step.
