On October 14, 2021, auction house Sotheby's launched the so-called Sotheby's Metaverse, a digital art platform focusing on non-fungible token (NFT) sales of digital art and collectibles. A few days after the launch, the platform announced its first NFT sale - "Natively Digital 1.2" - based on 53 works from a selection of well-known NFT collectors. As of April 2022, an NFT included in the platform's inaugural sale - "Pepenopoulos" from the Rare Pepe series - was the most expensive lot sold on Sotheby's Metaverse, fetching 3.65 million U.S. dollars. "Bored Ape Yacht Club #8817", from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection by the Yuga Labs, recorded the second-highest figure to date, being purchased for over 3.4 million U.S. dollars.
