A significant transaction in the digital art market occurred with the sale of CryptoPunk 635, an Alien NFT, which was acquired by an anonymous collector for 4,000 ETH or $12.4 million. This sale, brokered by Fountain, involved a CryptoPunk originally owned by Larva Labs and part of a previous transaction at Christie's Contemporary Art Evening Sale in May 2021. The recent sale, marking the third Alien Punk sale in the last month, underscores the continued high value and interest in rare NFTs, despite varying market sentiments about the future of such digital assets. Additionally, the seller retained 7 other punks from the original acquisition.

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
