⚫️ Someone bought a CryptoPunk for $16M
NFT sales appear to be cropping back up. A CryptoPunk just sold for 4,500 ether, worth over $16 million at current prices. Punk 3100 is one of nine “alien” CryptoPunks, the rarest group in the collection.
That’s the second largest sale ever for the blue-chip NFT collection, trailing only a $23.7 million CryptoPunk purchase made in Feb. 2022.
CryptoPunk 3100, the one that sold Monday morning, sold for $2,127 in 2017 before changing hands again for $7.58 million in 2021.
There are 10,000 unique CryptoPunks. Each punk has randomly generated attributes, like differing glasses or hairstyles. Punk 3100 is one of nine so-called alien punks that have blueish skin. The rareness of this attribute has made alien punks the most sought-after CryptoPunks.
