 <p>BAYC said in a statement posted to Twitter that an investigation undertaken with <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="event" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/event.html">event</a> producer Jack Morton Worldwide concluded the UV lighting rigs were the “most likely cause” of the medical issues.</p>
 <p>Some attendees complained on social media of experiencing eye pain and discomfort during the Nov. 3-5 event. BAYC said it has been in contact with those affected.</p>

 <p>The incident came during a rocky period for BAYC and the NFT market as a whole, which has plunged from historic highs reached during the pandemic. The collectible digital assets, which verify ownership through blockchain technology, surged along with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin before crashing this year.</p>
 <p>Jack Morton Worldwide, an experiential marketing agency owned by Interpublic Group, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. BAYC thanked the community for its patience as the investigation was conducted and said it “committed to supporting the recovery of anyone affected.”</p>
