디크립트에 따르면 팝스타 저스틴 비버(Justin Bieber)가 2022년 1월 약 130만달러(당시 500 ETH)에 매입한 BAYC NFT가 현재 약 1만2000달러(약 6 ETH) 수준까지 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 비버는 당시 희귀 속성이 없는 일반 NFT인 Bored Ape #3001을 매입했으며, BAYC의 바닥가(floor price)는 2022년 4월 최대 약 42만9000달러까지 상승했으나, 이후 NFT 시장 침체로 크게 하락했다. 현재 가격 기준으로 비버가 해당 NFT를 매도할 경우 손실률은 약 99%에 달한다. NFT 업계 관계자들은 당시에도 “희귀성이 없는 NFT를 고가에 매입했다”는 지적을 제기한 바 있다.

저스틴 비버 구매 NFT, $130만→$1.2만...손실률 '-99%'

According to Decrypt, the BAYC NFT, which pop star Justin Bieber purchased for approximately $1.3 million (500 ETH at the time) in January 2022, has now fallen to around $12,000 (approximately 6 ETH). At the time, Bieber purchased Bored Ape #3001, a common NFT without rarity attributes. The floor price of BAYC peaked at approximately $429,000 in April 2022, but has since fallen significantly due to the NFT market downturn. Based on the current price, if Bieber were to sell the NFT, the loss rate would be approximately 99%. NFT industry insiders also raised the issue at the time, saying, &quot;He purchased an NFT with no rarity at a high price.&quot;

Justin Bieber's NFT purchase dropped from $1.3 million to $12,000, with a loss rate of -99%.
