In 2021, Aoki predicted publicly that NFTs would be "part of culture" within five years. But now, he is liquidating what's left of his multi-million-dollar crypto portfolio. Data shows Aoki's crypto wallet has sold its Ethereum (CRYPTO: $ETH ) holdings, as well as several memecoins such as Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: $SHIB ) in recent days. Aoki is also reportedly offloading several NFTs that have lost most of their value. The DJ paid over $800,000 U.S. for seven Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs in 2021, when he was a celebrity advocate for digital art. Those Bored Ape NFTs are now worth a total of $97,000 U.S., an 88% decline from his purchase price. Aoki reportedly hasn't found a buyer for his Bored Ape NFTs. But his move to sell the NFTs comes after the market collapsed in recent years. The average price of a Bored Ape NFT has fallen from over $400,000 U.S. in early 2022 to $14,000 U.S. today, a decline of 97%. NFT prices remained depressed even during the 2023–2025 bull market in crypto, when Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC ) reached an all-time high of just over $126,000 U.S.
