Wanna buy an “affordable” Cryptopunk? Here are some that might be within your budget.
What do Jay Z, Logan Paul and the financial services company Visa have in common? (besides the fact that all three have a lot of money, of course!) All three own some Cryptopunks. Cryptopunks are rapidly becoming extremely popular in the non-fungible token (NFT) space.Â
Cryptopunks are a collection of unique collectible characters made by Larva Labs. They are one of the earliest series of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. A clear testament to their popularity is the fact that three of the most expensive NFTs ever sold are Cryptopunks. As of November 2021, Cryptopunks have amassed a sales volume of US$107 million.

These are the cheapest punks you can buy at the moment, and yet all their costs still run into several hundred thousand dollars.
