Yuga Labs, the digital asset incubation studio and the team behind the globally acknowledged Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club non-fungible token collections, has revealed plans to reward the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherdeed NFT holders. There are speculations that the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club may create an NFT coin to reward its users.

Bored Ape NFT Holders To Be Rewarded By Greg

In a January 23 chat with one of his fans on X (formerly Twitter), Greg Solano, the founder of Yuga Labs, best known as Crypto Garga, confirmed plans to reward the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherdeed NFT holders. The revelation came after a user, “@Lordrag,” asked the Yuga Labs founder ‘Crypto Garga’ what really happened to the Otherside, his metaverse gaming venture, which lost hype a few months after launch.

In his defense, the Yuga Labs top executive blamed the unfriendly regulatory environment for crypto in the United States of America under President Joe Biden. However, Crypto Garga expressed his excitement about the re-election and inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has vowed to offer an ample crypto and NFT regulatory environment in the United States. Garga revealed that his team will launch the reward program for Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherdeed NFT holders before the end of this year.
