CryptoPunks 5822 sold for $23,444,505 became the most expensive token in the NFT collection

The same CryptoPunks 5822

Representatives of the Nansen analytical service spoke about the results of their research on the most expensive acts of sale and purchase made in collections of non-fungible items. Other NFT tokens and art sold at auctions were not taken into account. Otherwise, the list would be completely different.

The report, provided by Nansen analysts, shows that the most expensive act of buying and selling was recorded in the CryptoPunks collection, as is the case with eight other similar items on the list of the 10 most expensive purchases in NFT history.

Token number 5822 took the first place. It cost the buyer $23,444,505, which is without a doubt the most expensive item in the history of the collection, which has 10,000 tokens.

CryptoPunks 5822 is owned by well-known NFT collector Deepak Taliyal, CEO of Chain blockchain infrastructure project.

In second place was number 4156, which cost the buyer a round sum of $11,078,852. It is noteworthy that the purchase ultimately brought the investor a large loss. He subsequently resold the token in July 2022 for $3,300,000. Thus, the loss amounted to $7,700,000.

The top 3 is closed by CryptoPunks 5577, which cost the buyer $7,821,723.

Top 5 are closed at once by two coins with the same value, located in 4th and 5th places. At the same level are CryptoPunks 3100 and CryptoPunks 7804 tokens. They were sold for $7,569,707 each.

The top 10 most expensive non-fungible tokens included not only representatives of the CryptoPunks collection, but also Ringers. Of the latter, numbers 109 and 879 appeared in sixth and eighth positions, which were sold for $6,940,725 and $6,621,349 respectively.

At the very beginning, we said that only those NFT tokens that were included in some collection and were sold within the marketplace were taken into account. If the calculation were different, then the painting “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” by the artist NFT Beeple would be in the first place. Auction house Christie's last year was able to sell this work of art for $69,400,000.
