Tsubasa Yozawa's Tweet NFT Sells for About ¥10.41 Million: The First Listing on the Japanese Service HEXA

       

HEXA's first listing (HEXA NFT #1) was an NFT of Tsubasa Yozawa's post announcing the birth of his second child. The NFT was sold in auction format, with a minimum winning bid of 0.03 ETH (about ¥7,730 at the exchange rate at the time), for a limited 5 days (120 hours), from 2021/06/15 (Tue) 00:00 to 2021/06/19 (Sat) 23:59.

The auction started at 00:00 on 6/15 (Tue) and reached about ¥2 million (7.1 ETH) in just about 2 hours, then climbed sharply to about ¥6.47 million (24 ETH) by 01:36 on day 2, 6/16 (Wed). Toward the final day, many new bidders placed bids, and in the end the NFT was won for about ¥10.41 million (42 ETH) by "Great Uncle Bana https://twitter.com/n_yamada10 " (all yen figures are based on the exchange rate at the time of bidding).

Auction bids are ranked by highest bid price and then by earliest bid, and are displayed in real time on the auction page as a "bid ranking." Bidders can also optionally attach a link to their X (formerly Twitter) account. As a result, the auction generated a lot of excitement, with top-ranked bidders engaging in psychological battles with each other on X.
