CryptoPunk NFT Sold for $12 Million Worth of Ether at Sotheby’s

A CryptoPunk non-fungible token has been sold for a cool $12 million (4,761 ETH) at a Sotheby's auction.

The pandemic-style 24x24 pixelated avatar is the only "alien punk" that has donned a mask, which makes it "extremely rare."

Founded by Larva Labs back in 2017, CryptoPunks was one of the pioneering projects in the NFT space.
