One of the CryptoPunks NFT was sold for $17 million
On March 20, 2024, an NFT from the CryptoPunks collection was sold for 4,850 ETH. In monetary terms, the value of the token is $17 million.
It is an NFT from the AlienPunks series under the number 7804. The purchase was the second largest among the collection above. The previous owner purchased the token in 2021 for 4,200 ETH, which was $7.57 million at the time of purchase.
The ex-owner of the token stated that Punk #7804 did not live up to his growth expectations from the moment of purchase. He said he kept NFT in his collection for a long time but could not sufficiently increase its price. At the same time, the user earned 650 ETH ($2.3 million) from the transaction. He noted that it took him an hour to find a suitable buyer.
AlienPunk #7804 was the second most valuable NFT from the said collection. The first place remains for token #5822. It was sold in February 2022 for 8000 ETH, which was $23.7 million at the time of the transaction.

Our investment strategy involves providing deep liquidity crypto market making to the projects we invest in. This approach allows us to ensure continuous and substantial liquidity in exchanges. By doing so, we aim to increase market efficiency and reduce price volatility. We help to stabilize prices and reduce the bid-ask spread, which can lower transaction costs for traders. This usually attracts more traders to the markets, by making it easier and less risky to trade your token which can help to increase the overall liquidity and trading volumes both for the benefit of traders and issuers. However, we recognize that providing liquidity also comes with potential risks, which we carefully evaluate and manage as part of our investment decision-making process.
