Rare Triceratops Skeleton Acquired by Crypto Investors

According to ChainCatcher, a rare 69-million-year-old triceratops skeleton, one of only 24 known globally, is housed in a Singapore vault known as the 'Fort Knox of Asia.' This unique fossil, over five meters long, was purchased for approximately $5 million by a group of collectors, including Yoann Turpin, co-founder of crypto market maker Wintermute. The fossil was transported from Wyoming to Singapore's Le Freeport earlier this year. Among the four owners, all of whom are cryptocurrency investors, is Chaw Wei Yang, who operates the collectibles-themed platform Co-Museum. This acquisition highlights a shift in the tastes of the crypto elite. Following the NFT boom of 2022, interest in digital art has waned, with executives in the digital currency sector increasingly drawn to antiques, precious metals, and statues.
