GameSquare Drops $5.1M on Cowboy Ape Punk NFT – Robert Leshner Cashes Out
GameSquare just splurged $5.1 million on a pixelated simian—because nothing screams 'strategic investment' like a cartoon ape in a cowboy hat. The buyer? A gaming giant doubling down on Web3. The seller? Robert Leshner, the DeFi heavyweight who just turned JPEGs into a liquidity event.
Why This Matters (Or Doesn’t)
NFTs are either the future of digital ownership or a masterclass in greater-fool theory—take your pick. But when a publicly traded company drops millions on a single asset, eyebrows (and maybe short positions) start appearing.
The Cynical Take
Another day, another 'utility' narrative for bored money. At least this ape comes with a hat—perfect for hiding those bags.
