What is the most expensive NFT out there? It is a recurring question in talks on the subject. Let’s review together the list of the most expensive NFTs in history.
#10 CryptoPunk #3100
This NFT represents an avatar of an alien, which has a white and blue stripe on its head. In the CryptoPunk collection there are only 450 punks with a similar band, it is possible that this is the reason why it has been valued so much. It was purchased for $7.6 million on March 11, 2021.
#9 CryptoPunk #5577
Place #9 corresponds to an ape with a cowboy hat. It was purchased for $7.7 million by Robert Leshner, founder of Compound Finance. So far I have not found information on the reasons why this NFT has appreciated so much.
#8 CryptoPunk #4156
He is one of the most well-known CryptoPunks in the collection. The artist Beeple used it in one of his works and it was part of another project called Nouns. He is an ape with a blue bandana on his head and his value lies more in his story than in the NFT itself. It was purchased on December 21, 2021 for $10 million.
#7 Tpunk #3442
This NFT corresponds to a collection of CryptoPunks on the Tron blockchain. The case of this NFT is a bit strange, since
definitely not worth what it cost. It was purchased by Tron co-founder Justin Sunor for $10.5 million. Subsequently, a project on the TRON network dedicated to the tokenization of works of art was donated to APENFT.
6. Alien CryptoPunk #7523
The main relevance of this CryptoPunk is that it has a medical mask, which directly relates it to the Covid pandemic, it also has arts and a knitted hat, which makes it even more rare. These two reasons made Shalom Meckenzie, the largest shareholder of DraftKings, pay almost 12 million dollars for him at a Shothebys auction.
