New York auction house Sotheby’s will auction 104 CryptoPunks on February 23rd. The NFTs total an estimated value of $20 to $30 million.

ㅤ

Because of the sale’s focus on CryptoPunks, Sotheby’s co-head of digital art, Michael Bouhanna, described it as a “first-of-its-kind” and “monumental.”

"CryptoPunks are the original PFP series that laid the groundwork for subsequent NFT projects and helped launch NFTs to the global stage as one of the most identifiable visual styles that has become synonymous with the digital art movement."
