User Pays $4.5M (3300 ETH) to Purchase a CryptoPunk NFT in a Bear Market
Share on TwitterShare on Reddit

During an NFT hype, people can spend millions of dollars buying JPEGs. Even as the current market conditions remain volatile, this did not stop a particular user from purchasing a CryptoPunk NFT worth 3300 Ethereum. The CryptoPunk 2924 sold for around $4.45 million, one of the most significant sales in NFT history.

CryptoPunk is an NFT project that showcases different pixel icons. CryptoPunk is a collection of 10,000-pixel images. Each image represents different randomly generated personalities, combinations, and special unique characters. From a set of 10,000-pixel photos, there are 6,039 male punks and 3,840 female punks.

Punk 2924 bought for 3,300 ETH ($4,451,633.94 USD) by 0x9045de from 0x1da533. https://t.co/bh7Rjs9Aob #cryptopunks #ethereum pic.twitter.com/PT9v9bCC5s

Only one of 24 monkeys in the CryptoPunks collection contains 10,000 unique NFT profile pictures. It is considered the 38th “rarest” NFT in the project by Rarity Tools due to its characteristics.

CryptoPunk Sales

CryptoPunks is among valuable and influential NFT brands. Their Ethereum collection is the core template for their latest profile picture project. It inspired subsequent hits such as Bored Ape Yacht Club and Doodles. CryptoPunks sales have generated nearly $2.4 billion in secondary trading volume and continue to develop.

Larva Labs launched the project in 2017. Larva Labs is an early pioneer of the NFT market craze, joining the market two years back. The company, however, sold its IP rights to Bored Apes creator Yuga Labs in March this year. Yuga Labs has since opened commercialization rights to all owners, allowing Punks imagery to be used in secondary art and projects.

The State of NFTs

2021 was the year of non-fungible tokens, NFTs. From the emergence of new mechanisms of converting songs into financial assets “Royal,” to Snoop Dogg claiming his NFT collection, Cozomo de ‘Medici, to his stunning Futura drop on EulerBeats, escape the hype; Web3 would not be what it is today if NFTs were not accepted as mainstream.

As the NFT ecosystem matures, Q2 sales have surpassed Q1 sales in 2022. The ratio is $17.5 million to $16.4 million, respectively. This highlights that older projects still get the spotlight and still get attention. Primary sales surpassed $16 billion in the third quarter and continue to perform well.

The crypto community is an expressive place. Users express themselves with different avatars through their profile pictures. The metaverse of platforms includes Twitter, Discord, Telegram, and Github. They have pixelated punks, boring monkeys, and adorable characters. Have you ever seen a cat floating? It will be confirmed shortly. This is no longer a fad in native crypto. Celebrities like Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg bought CryptoPunk NFTs to use as Twitter profile pictures. They also paid to companies via Visa and added a punk to the collection. As a result, PFP is becoming mainstream.

Unique Network and NFTs

Unique Network is the next generation NFT infrastructure. Unique Network offers developers high network transaction fees. It provides high-density upgrades and independence from its NFTs. The Unique Network team has partnered with several NFT projects to deepen the integration needed to expand NFT use cases and user experience. This creates a better partnering business environment for various metaverse environments.
