A notable transaction in the NFT market occurred with a CryptoPunk, specifically an alien, selling for $12.4 million. This sale was facilitated by Fountainxyz and involved a seller who originally acquired the alien and seven other punks from the Autoglyphs deployer in 2021. The alien sold was part of a collection from a previous Christie's auction, where nine CryptoPunks, including a good hoodie, were sold for approximately $20 million including buyer fees. The recent transaction represents about a $7 million loss for the seller, according to calculations.
Someone just paid $12.4 MILLION for this CryptoPunk NFT https://t.co/ewFlOKrHRQ
This sale is the Larva Labs Alien from the Christie’s auction a few years ago. 9 CryptoPunks were sold for about $20m with buyer fees. 7 are pretty much floors. And there’s a good hoodie in there too. Works out to about a $7m loss for the seller with my back of the envelope math. https://t.co/QCEKP9XIpz
