Carson Auctioning Off Rare Moonbird

In this post

Ryan Carson, former COO of PROOF Collective, is selling his Cosmic Moonbird (No. 6949) in an auction that ends June 29 at noon ET.

Carson has been liquidating his NFT portfolio for the past few weeks to front-run conflict of interest concerns with his NFT investment fund, 121G Fund. He hosted a Twitter Spaces shortly after announcing the auction where he said he just wants “to be really clear that anything the fund buys does not benefit me personally.”

Carson set the reserve price for the rare Moonbird at 25 ETH. Carson bought the NFT two hours after it was minted for 69.49 ETH (about $212,658 then) on April 16.
