Headband-Wearing 'Alien Punk' NFT Rockets to $16 Million, Second Highest Cryptopunk Sale The cryptocurrency market is ablaze once again as a
Cryptopunk NFT, affectionately dubbed an
'Alien Punk', has just fetched a staggering $16 million! This astronomical figure marks the second-highest sale in the history of these digital collectibles.
Ethereum, the blockchain platform behind this mind-boggling transaction, is witnessing a surge in NFT activity. The specific
Cryptopunk #3,100, sporting a trendy headband, now finds itself in the hands of its third proud owner.
While this sale is impressive, it falls short of the record set by another
'Alien Punk', Cryptopunk #5,822, which commanded an eye-watering $23.7 million. Nonetheless, both sales demonstrate the growing allure and value of these unique digital artworks.
This isn't the first time Cryptopunk #3,100 has made headlines. Just three years ago, it changed hands for a cool
$7.67 million. With each sale, its price tag seems to defy gravity, propelling it to the forefront of the NFT world.
In fact, this latest purchase has had a ripple effect on the Ethereum network's NFT sales volume, pushing it to an impressive
$39 million in just 24 hours. As demand soars, the entry point for owning a Cryptopunk NFT has skyrocketed to 57 ether.
The meteoric rise of these digital treasures shows no signs of slowing down as collectors and investors alike clamor for their own piece of this crypto-cultural revolution.
