The BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) NFT collection saw its Ethereum floor price plummeting to 65 ETH last week. NFT Floor Price data shows the decline was the lowest since 2022 started.
Moreover, CoinGecko revealed that BAYC’s floor price maintained slumps since the 153.7 ETH all-time high, printed nearly three months ago. The fall came as the overall crypto market endured continued declines.
The declining BAYC floor price raised concerns over BendDAO liquidations, sending more jitters into the crypto space last week. BendDAO is a non-fungible token (NFT) liquidity pool that enables individuals to borrow ETH with NFTs as collateral.
Meanwhile, clients can borrow 40% of the security NFT floor price. Cases where the floor price plummets until the loan’s Health Factor dips beneath one force an auction of the collateralized NFT within two days.
The highest bidder will get the NFT whenever borrowers fail to pay the loan. While publishing this blog, two Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTS are up for auction, following BAYC’s continued floor price dip. Their health factors stand at 0.97 and 0.93.
