Other Significant CryptoPunk Sales
Data from Cryptoslam indicates that Punk 6915 was initially acquired for just 3.5 ETH ($2455) in late December 2017, marking a 59,390.10% profit in the recent transaction. The seller, identified as “0xe38ee2,” also sold CryptoPunk 9479 for 35 ETH (approximately $82,466.39) moments after the Ape Punk changed hands. CryptoPunk 9368, one of the 88 Zombie Punks, marked the second-highest sale for the collection on September 5, selling for 310 ETH ($734,179). Interestingly, the Punk has already received an offer for 1500 ETH, but the deal is yet to be closed. If the sale transpires, it would mark the highest CryptoPunk sale since March.
Current NFT Market Situation
Currently, CryptoPunks are the most valuable NFT collection with a 24-hour sales volume of around $1.68 million. However, the recent sales are far from the most valuable transactions for the apex collection. In March 2024, CryptoPunk 3100 was sold for $16.03 million, and CryptoPunk 7804 was sold for around $16.42 million just weeks later. These, however, pale in comparison to CryptoPunk 5822, which was sold for 8000 ETH ($23.7 million) in February 2022.
The $1.48 million sale has sparked fresh optimism within the NFT community, despite the ongoing market challenges such as declining sales volumes and transaction numbers.
