    CryptoPunk NFT sold at $9.7M loss

    • Investor sells CryptoPunk NFT for $6 million, incurring a $9.7 million loss.
    • NFT market sees significant decline in trading volumes and valuations.

    What happened: Major NFT loss amid market downturn

    An investor recently sold a CryptoPunk non-fungible token (NFT) for 4,000 Ether (ETH), valued at over $6 million at the time of sale. The NFT was originally purchased for 4,500 ETH, approximately $15.7 million, a year prior. This transaction resulted in a realised loss of about $9.7 million.

    The sale occurred amidst a broader downturn in the NFT market, with Ethereum-based NFT trading volumes declining by more than 53% over the past month. Despite the loss, this $6 million transaction remains the largest NFT sale in the past 30 days.

    Why it’s important

    This significant loss highlights the volatility and risks associated with investing in NFTs. The decline in trading volumes and valuations suggests a cooling interest in the NFT market. Investors and market participants are closely monitoring these trends to assess the future viability and stability of NFT investments.
