An NFT Whale Bought 69 DeGods NFTs for $1m

A pseudonymous NFT collector has shaken up the DeGods world by purchasing a whopping 69 NFTs at a combined price of almost $1 million. A mighty trove that he now intends to migrate to the Ethereum network.

Since its launch, DeGods has commanded a great deal of interest within the Solana NFT space. It has ringed up more trading volume in SOL than any other projects on the network. Then, just last month, it announced that it will migrate its project to Ethereum.

In the latest chapter of its story, DeGods has caught the attention of a big time investor. As such, a pseudonymous NFT trader by the name “Pokeee” spent $1 million to collect 69 DeGods NFTs from the Magic Eden marketplace, accumulating the items using the platform’s ‘sweep the floor’ tool. 

Pokeee in his Jan 13th Tweet promised to buy 69 NFTs from the project if he received 1000 likes on Twitter. He also mentioned that he would buy them to support the impending migration to Ethereum. As a result, the tweet garnered nearly 3000 likes and shortly afterwards, a $900,000 purchase rocked the DeGods space.

Pokeee is an extremely active collector within the NFT community, currently holding several BAYC NFTs, and his personal ENS domain within his Pokeee.eth wallet. However, his faith in the DeGods project seems to be entirely driven by its decision to relocate to the Ethereum network. Therefore, representing a bold move that could either prove incredibly lucrative, or incredibly costly.
