About Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT
The Mutant Ape Yacht Club non-fungibles are a collection of tokens released by the Bored Ape Yacht Club following the highly-popular BAYC NFT owned by Yuga Labs. In the description released by OpenSea, it states “The MUTANT APE YACHT CLUB is a collection of up to 20,000 Mutant Apes that can only be created by exposing an existing Bored Ape to a vial of MUTANT SERUM or by minting a Mutant Ape in the public sale.”
Many celebrities admitted to owning some of the tokens from the NFT space, including Paris Hilton, and The Tonight Show Host, Jimmy Fallon.
