Only 9 MAYC NFTs remain in the wallet address, indicating that the whale might want to drain his NFT holding. The whale address has been linked to Rektguy creator Mando, who confirmed that he still holds many Yuga assets and has paid all the associated royalties.

Mando said that the entity decided to leverage the current NFT liquidity to gain some profit from selling BAYC and MAYC holdings. A huge number of the NFTs sold appear to have been purchased by an NFT enthusiast using the Twitter handle @machibigbrother.

After a lot of thinking, today we decided to utilise current NFT liquidity and take profits on our Apes + Mutants.

We still own a lot of Yuga assets and continue to be bullish on what they are building.

This team changed our lives. We paid full royalties. We will be back.

According to Mando, one should be able to seize the opportunity to obtain liquidity when it is abundant and readily available and utilize it during periods of scarcity.
