FTX contagion victim Deepak.eth puts NFT collection up for sale
The founder of the Chain blockchain infrastructure company, who goes by the internet pseudonym Deepak.eth, took to Twitter to announce the sale of their nonfungible token (NFT) collection.
Deepak.eth tweeted that the collection will either be sold to the highest bidder, or else placed in a “fractional DAO” in which they would sell 80% of the ownership. According to the Chain founder the collection is going for 8,000 (ETH), which is roughly $10, 258,720 million at the time of writing.

The collection includes high ticket NFTs such as Tiffany Punks which will include the NFTiff and physical pendants, some Bored Ape Yacht Club characters (BAYC) and Mutants, among others.
On Nov. 10, Deepak.eth began a thread on Twitter, which pointed the finger at the recent FTX turmoil as the reason for dipping into the liquidity via their NFTs.

Despite recent trading volumes of popular collections such as BAYC hitting lows, NFTs in these series have previously seen market values into the millions.
