Finn, founder of the Bags platform, acquired the well-known pink beanie for approximately $794,000. This purchase was funded using proceeds from the “BUY THE HAT” token transaction fees. Finn’s interest in artifacts and potential future integrations of the beanie into Bags’ ecosystem underscore the increasing financial ties between digital and physical meme assets.

The sale suggests a growing trend in monetizing meme culture within the crypto sector. The decrease in WIF’s market capitalization, now around $1 billion, contrasts with its previous $4.3 million auction high, illustrating both volatility and potential long-term value shifts in meme-inspired assets.
