As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for rare digital collectibles, this recent $1.48 million sale of CryptoPunk 6915 has certainly piqued my interest. The astronomical return on investment (ROI) of over 59,000% in just six years is enough to make any crypto enthusiast green with envy.
A CryptoPunk from the Ape Punk collection was sold for roughly $1.5 million as the broader non-fungible token market continued to struggle amidst waning demand.
As reported by CryptoPunks Bot, a rare Ape Punk NFT (CryptoPunk 6915) was purchased for approximately 620 Ether, equivalent to around $1.48 million USD, by an unidentified collector known as “0x8bbccd”. This unique NFT is one of only 24 Ape Punks that were minted on the Ethereum blockchain by Larva Labs.

Data from Cryptoslam indicates that the Punk 6195 was initially acquired for just 3.5 ETH ($2455) in late December 2017. The recent transaction marks a 59,390.10% profit. The seller, identified as “0xe38ee2,” also sold CryptoPunk 9479 for 35 ETH (approximately $82,466.39) moments after the Ape Punk changed hands.
On September 5th, CryptoPunk 9368 – one of the 88 Zombie Punks – recorded the second-largest sale for the collection at 310 ETH, equivalent to approximately $734,179. Remarkably, this unique Punk has received an offer of 1500 ETH, but the transaction is yet to be finalized. Should the deal go through, it will set a new record for the highest CryptoPunk sale since March.
At present, CryptoPunks stand as the highest-valued NFT (Non-Fungible Token) collection, boasting approximately $1.68 million in 24-hour sales. Yet, these recent transactions fall significantly short of the most expensive deal ever made for this top-tier collection.
In March 2024, CryptoPunk 3100 was purchased for approximately 16.03 million Ether, whereas CryptoPunk 7804 was sold for roughly 16.42 million Ether a few weeks later. However, these figures are dwarfed by the sale price of CryptoPunk 5822, which went for 8000 Ether (equivalent to around $23.7 million) in February 2022.
The significant $1.48 million sale has reignited enthusiasm among the NFT community, as numerous influential figures enthusiastically predict that NFTs are experiencing a strong resurgence.
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed a dip in the NFT market over the past month, despite a surge of activity recently. This downturn seems to be driven by a decrease in sales and an exodus of buyers, leading to a 42.15% drop in cumulative NFT sales volume. Moreover, total NFT transactions have declined by 24.48% to approximately 7.1 million, suggesting that the demand for these assets has weakened.
To add to existing troubles, an unexpected Wells Notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding NFT marketplace OpenSea has intensified the decline, causing apprehension in the community over the possibility that NFTs might be classified as securities.
