According to reports, a CryptoPunks NFT has been sold for a record-breaking 8,000 ETH (approximately $23.7 million USD).

Verified by the CryptoPunks Bot Twitter, the sale of CryptoPunk #5822 serves as the biggest CryptoPunks NFT purchase in history. The NFT was purchased by Deepak Thapliyal, the CEO of Chain, who goes by the name of Deepak.eth on the Ethereum blockchain. The staggering 8,000 ETH transaction smashes the previous record sale of the “COVID Alien” CryptoPunk #7523 at Sotheby’s “Natively Digital: A Curated NFT Sale” back in June, 2021.

Deepak also took to Twitter to tease and announce his record-breaking purchase.

In case you missed it, Drake went big for Super Bowl LVI, betting $1.26 million USD in Bitcoin.
