Bored Yacht Club took first place again with a lucrative deal of 697 ETH for # 8585. That’s a whopping $ 2.68 million. Dankrupt sold for 469 ETH or $ 1.93 million. CryptoPunk took the following three spots: # 4992 with a price tag of 450 ETH or $ 1.70 million and 273,265 ETH or $ 1.02 million.

The sale that generated the most headlines did not top this pack of the top 5 NFT sales of the week. Instead, he took over the rear.

Karl Runefelt, also known as Lunar Karl, bought CryptoPunk # 4626 for 249 ETH or $ 1.02 million. Noticing that this particular NFT crypto art was strikingly similar to him, Karl went ahead and added another million dollars.

It was only after the purchase was made that he realized that the CryptoPunk he had just bought was a woman!

With a market capitalization of $ 43.08 billion and weekly sales of $ 10 million to $ 20 million, the global NFT market has grown exponentially over the past few months.

If current trends are indicative, be prepared for record numbers in the near future. And judging by Karl’s story, we may even witness a few more strange events!
