On January 31st, an anonymous entity who owns an address starting with 0x483ec3 bid a total of 1,211 ETH worth $1,600,445 on two of CryptoPunks.

It’s worth noting that these CryptoPunks are both “Alien” punks of which there are only nine that will ever exist. CryptoPunk #2890 which made headlines on January 23rd and brought mainstream attention to the NFT art world after selling for 605 ETH worth $761,889 at the time of sale, was also an “Alien” punk.


If either of these bids turn into a sale it will represent the highest sale amount not only for a CryptoPunk, but for any piece of NFT art.
