CryptoPunk NFT Sold for $10 Million Loss After Price Drop

The CryptoPunks collection, launched by Larva Labs in 2017, once dominated the NFT market. In 2024, some of these NFTs sold for as much as $56 million. Currently, the top five most expensive NFTs are from this collection.

Key points include:

  • CryptoPunks #3100 sold for 4,000 ETH, a loss of 500 ETH (over $10 million) compared to its previous sale.
  • The collection's minimum asking price is 42 ETH (around $65,000).
  • #3100's value stems from its rarity as an “alien” and wearing a hairband.
  • NFT trading volumes have generally declined since 2021, with total sales dropping to over $58 million as of April 7.
