It’s been a rough week for the Wicked Ape Bone Club which saw its floor price tank from 0.4 ETH to a low 0.18 ETH among a wider market correction and the free drop of the Wicked Hounds companion to Wicked Ape owners that caused a dilution of apes value.
Things got only worse yesterday (September 15, 2021) when collection founder davinci publicly announced on Discord that the much-awaited OPERATION WCKD would involve issuing +90K more NFTs of different skeletal-themed collections by January.
The announcement was met with quasi unanimous disapproval among the Wicked Bone Club community, which argued that such a decision would only further dilute the value of the original collections.
A few hours later, the Wicked Bone Club publicly announced in a Twitter thread that OPERATION WCKD had been completely revamped, and that the team “will now solely focus on increasing the value of Wicked Apes & Hounds”:
More specifically:
- A new token called WCKD will be released on Friday September 17, 2021 to all Wicked Ape Holders (10 tokens per day per ape)
- This tokenwill be utilized on merch, Wicked Racing staking & upgrades, Wicked Ritual Passes (information coming at a later date) and have more uses as WBC progresses
- Wicked Hounds will have their own utility in the form of Wicked Racing.
- A digital Hound racing game currently in the works in which Hound holders can race against one another and stake WCKD tokens. Weekly leaderboard tournaments will be held rewarding the top racers.
- The Wicked Ape Bone Club collection will be finally verified on Open Sea this weekend
- Sandbox land will be purchased within the next two weeks
- Wicked Hounds are now live on Rarity Tools
This stream of good news seems to have been bullishly met by the community and the market, as sales volume for both collections (Apes and Hounds) surged during the day, with around 10 apes changing hands each hour against barely more than one on average the previous days.
Floor price is now 0.24 ETH for the Wicked Apes (+33% in 24h) while Hounds are nearing 0.06 ETH.
Besides Wicked Bones, the whole market seems to be steadily recovering from its early September correction, with Top 10 collections witnessing an influx of sales.
