In the last 24 hours, total sales of CryptoPunks NFTs have accumulated to 915.37 ETH. At current market rates, this amounts to over $1.8 million. Ethereum is currently trading at $2,060, as per reports from crypto.news.

Over the past month, sales for this NFT collection have surged by nearly 20%, indicating a positive trend. Nevertheless, despite the increased buying activity, daily trading volume has dropped by 21.8%. The market cap is currently at 419,748 ETH, which is roughly $865 million.

Since its launch in 2017, CryptoPunks has been an NFT collection featuring 10,000 unique pixel art avatars available for minting on the Ethereum blockchain. In October 2024, publishing house Phaidon released an extensive 800-page compendium documenting all 10,000 Punks ever created. The book, titled “CryptoPunks: Free to Claim,” was authored and curated by creative director Zak Kyes in collaboration with Yuga Labs.
