Punk #3100 made history yesterday by being acquired for around $16 million (4,500 eth), marking the second largest purchase in the CryptoPunk nft Series.
That sale, facilitated by OpenSea, surpassed a previous offer of $14.5 million (4,250 eth) on March 1. The collectible's appeal includes standing out as one of nine 'Alien Punks', distinguished by its blue skin.
Highlighting the high demand for these otherworldly PFP characters, Alien CryptoPunks are coveted for their rarity and unique appearance, with two others currently available for $17.8 million and $19.6 million.
CryptoPunks lead the charge
Amid a buoyant revival of the nft sector, characterized by a surge in buyer participation and a recent 25% increase in daily market volume, CryptoPunks find themselves at the epicenter.
According to nft Price Floor, CryptoPunks currently has a total 24-hour trading volume of approximately $18.73 million (4,970.2 eth) and a market capitalization of approximately $2.05 billion (544,000 eth), impressively positioning the nft brand as the most famous nft collection today.
Still, the highest record for one of these Pixelated Punks is held by CryptoPunk #5822, which Chain CEO Deepak Thapliyal bought for around $23.7 million (8,000 eth) at the time, back in February 2022.
