According to previous media reports, the $2.52 million used to repurchase $NFT was derived from the sale of NFT’s of Three Self-Portraits of Andy Warhol, which had previously been sold on the Binance NFT MarketPlace. The artwork was purchased on June 27 by an anonymous buyer at the hammer price of 2.8 million BUSD (approx. $2.8 million), and after deducting a 10％ transaction fee APENFT eventually received 2.52 million BUSD (approx. $2.52 million). After the event, APENFT tweeted that the proceeds would be used entirely for the repurchase and burning of NFT. APENFT then launched a community vote on its website on July 7, and the proposal was passed on July 10.
$NFT, as the sole token issued by APENFT, is the governance token for the APENFT ecosystem. $NFT holders participate in the governance of APENFT by holding $NFT tokens.
