One victim has even filed a lawsuit against the platform after having his Bored Ape NFT stolen, accusing the platform of “negligence” and requesting damages of over $1 million.

Not only has trading activity taken a 37% tumble, but the number of traders on OpenSea has fallen too, to just over 220,000.
