Christie's NFT maven joins Yuga Labs to steward CryptoPunks By LHM1
Christie’s head of non-fungible tokens Noah Davis is joining Yuga Labs as brand leader for popular NFT collection CryptoPunks.
Christie's head of non-fungible tokens announced on Sunday that he would be joining industry heavyweight Yuga Labs as brand leader for its recently-acquired collection CryptoPunks.:"I really can’t overstate how incredible this journey out of the old Art World and into Web3 has been and I can’t wait to see where the road ahead leads… I only know it will continue to be wild and weird. And I like it that way.
Until recently, Yuga Labs' headline asset was the Bored Ape Yacht Club . But in March this year, the company– a move which many believed would mean turning over commercial rights to NFT holders. This prompted speculation about what changes Yuga would make to the way people could use their NFTs. At the time, Yuga pledged that it would not look to emulate the club model it had created for BAYC and would look to add utility in other ways for Punk holders.
"Why the hold up on that?," he added."These were frankly too significant to rush, and too impactful for the NFT community at large to risk developing them in silo."
