As reported by U.Today, the high-class auction house made history by selling an extremely rare 101.38-carat diamond for $12 million worth of crypto in early July.

In June, one of the non-fungible tokens from the CryptoPunk collection went for a hammer price of 4,761 ETH.

Sotheby's initially announced that it would start accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum back in May.
