This CryptoPunk NFT Just Sold for $133,153 in ETH

CryptoPunks is a generative art collection and one of the very first NFT apps for digital art. There are only 10,000 punks, and some of them are considered lost forever.

What happened: CryptoPunk #2889 just sold for 115.00 ETH ETH/USD ($133,153). The value of CryptoPunks is usually determined by the attributes of Punk, with the features of the hoodie, beanie, and pilot helmet being the most coveted. Other species of punks (zombies, monkeys and aliens) are incredibly rare and also fetch a premium.

Here is a list of his attributes and how many other Punks have the same trait:

Accessory: 3 attributes (4,122) Accessory: Cigarette (961) Accessory: Purple Lipstick (655) Type: Female (3,840) Accessory: pilot helmet (54)

Why it matters: Cryptopunks are the ultimate rookie card for NFT collectors. CryptoPunks have gained huge influence in 2021, with dozens of celebrities proudly showing off their punk property on Twitter. Cryptopunk sales are a leading indicator for the rest of the NFT market, and show that some are willing to spend big bucks on blockchain-based art.
