- Yuga Labs Launches Bored Ape NFTs on Solana Blockchain — this brief
Yuga Labs, the creator of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection, has expanded its ecosystem onto the 
Solana blockchain with a new set of physical and digital Bored Ape cards.
The collection includes 10,000 card packs that holders can claim, with eight one-of-one cards being the highlight of the set. This marks Yuga Labs' first major NFT release on Solana, signaling a strategic move to diversify its blockchain presence.
The launch comes as Solana has been gaining traction in the NFT market due to its lower transaction fees and faster processing times compared to 
Ethereum. This development could attract more users to Solana's NFT ecosystem and increase demand for SOL tokens.
The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with 
Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.87%. Solana's price, however, has been under pressure, with a 7-day decline of 6.38% despite a slight 0.60% gain in the past day.
The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 59, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment in the market. This suggests that while investors are optimistic, there is still some caution amid recent market volatility.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from ₹9,918.27$104.20 to ₹9,971.57$104.76 — +0.54%.
The chart plots SOL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₹10,832.71 (about $104.76), up 1.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
