Most Expensive Cryptopunk Sold for $54.000

Posted on 2020-09-182020-09-18 by Robert Hoogendoorn

An anonymous user on token platform Rarible just bought a Cryptopunk for more than 54 thousand dollars, making it the most expensive cryptopunk ever. The collector paid 140 ETH for to get his hands on this Ape Cryptopunk. The sale is not mentioned on the official Cryptopunks website, because this particular sale happened through the Wrapped Punks contract.

The previous highest sale was 20 thousand dollars (100 ETH) for a bald female punk. However, in recent weeks the trading volume has increased tremendously thanks to the Wrapped Punks contract. The contract allows collectors to buy and sell the digital artworks as a new type of token of platforms like Rarible.

Cryptopunks is the first digital art project on the blockchain. Only ten thousand punks have been created, and they were distributed for free. Now the most rare punks are selling for tens of thousands of dollars, while the cheapest cryptopunk are at least 400 dollars.

Cryptopunks second revival this year

The Cryptopunks project has regained the spotlight with some big sales this month. A few months ago the crypto art projects also took center stage. Currently the average CryptoPunks collectible sells for 400 dollars, but those with rare features tend to be more valuable.

CryptoPunks is a crypto art initiative that generated ten thousand different 24×24 punk-looking avatars. There are a few rares ones, like apes, zombies and an alien. Besides being a digital collectible, the project doesn’t offer any additional usage. However, Cryptopunks are often part of digital art galleries in virtual worlds like Cryptovoxels and Decentraland.

We can’t say that Cryptopunks are technically advanced non-fungible tokens. However, it’s the first collectible art project ever that used the Ethereum blockchain to mint collectibles. Because of their historical significance, Cryptopunks are valuable digital assets. There are only ten thousand punks on the market. Most likely rarity and scarcity push up the value.
