The world of NFTs has been upended! As I publish this story, the largest Crypto Punk buy in history has just completed!

Crypto Punks are one of the most precious NFT collections available, and one was recently sold for a record-breaking 8,000 ETH, which equates to more than $23,700,000 at the time of this press.

Who Purchased CryptoPunk Issue 5822?

Crypto Punks is a collection of 10,000 one-of-a-kind digital art characters, each one unique. The buyer of Crypto Punk #5822 is the CEO of Chain – also known on the blockchain as Deepak.eth.

The CryptoPunks Bots on Twitter reported the record-breaking NFT purchase. The CryptoPunks Bot is being built by the same business that created Crypto Punks. It will publicise all Crypto Punks sales and significant bids on the Ethereum blockchain.

Deepak.eth also announced the news on his own Twitter account. Prior to paying a record price for the Crypto Punk NFT, the Chain CEO also did a 3..2..1 countdown on his Twitter handle... and the rest is history. That is the course of history.

Sale of a Historic NFT

The previous record for a valid CryptoPunk sale was $11.7 million, however that record has been shattered by a significant amount.

Since around a year ago, Crypto Punks have been the centre of attention. Crypto Punks, like the BAYC NFT collection, are owned by a slew of celebrities.
