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."

While being around for quite a long time, NFTs reached the peak of their mainstream coverage back in March with Beeple's record-shattering $69.3 million sale.

The most recent auction proves that the demand is still there despite growing skepticism.
