1. The Merge

  • Pak’s “The Merge,” which was the most costly NFT ever sold, was the last

  • The $91.8 million price tag set a new record for a publicly auctioned work of art by a living artist

  • Nifty Gateway sold the NFT to 28,893 collectors, who bought 312,686 units of mass (which were single NFTs)

  • These devices had a $575 initial price that rose by $25 every six hours

  • Three sizable white masses (dots) against a dark background make up the NFT itself and the mass of mass consumers would grow as more joined them

2. The First 5000 Days

  • Another one of Beeples top-grossing NFT products is The First 5000 Days

  • It is a collage made by Beeples for his everyday series out of 5000 different NFTs

  • It was auctioned off at Christie's Auction house in 2021 for an astounding $69 million (42.329 ETH)

  • The NFT was sold to Vignesh Sundaresan, a programmer residing in Singapore who has mostly gained money through investing in the cryptocurrency markets

  • The NFT being sold to an individual investor is the most expensive one ever

3. CLOCK

  • The origin of the third most expensive NFT ever sold is a little unusual

  • After Julian Assange was controversially imprisoned in May 2019, it was established to gather money for his defense

  • Because of his involvement with the website he created, WikiLeaks, Assange is currently behind bars on suspicion of espionage against the US Government

  • The NFT itself is just a clock that shows how many days Assange has been detained

  • Over 10,000 backers, each of whom owns a part of the NFT, raised the astronomical $56 million price tag

4. HUMAN ONE

  • A digital/physical hybrid work of art likewise created by Beeple is called Human One

  • When it was put up for auction as a part of Christie’s 21st Century Evening Sale on November 9, 2021, it brought in a record $28.9 million

  • The interesting part about this NFT is how the visuals evolve over time

  • Even though Beeple doesn’t actually own the artwork, he still has remote access to it and can regularly edit it

  • People said that efforts fusing many TVs into unique shapes and patterns served as the piece’s inspiration

5. CryptoPunk #5822

  • With a staggering $23 million price tag, CryptoPunk #5822 is the most expensive CryptoPunk to have ever been sold

  • On the NFT, there has also been a ton of bidding and listing activity

  • Throughout the token’s lifetime, there have been numerous bids totaling more than 1000 ETH (or about $3 million)

  • All of these, though, have been rejected by the owner, additionally, the owner 0xDeepak has repeatedly listed it for tens of thousands of ETH

  • None of these listings, however, have materialized

  • The owner last listed the NFT 19 days ago after transferring it to an unnamed wallet with the code 7DDFFB

6. CryptoPunk #7523

  • The second-most expensive CryptoPunk NFT ever sold is CryptoPunk #7523

  • Amazingly, it went for $11.75 million

  • Furthermore, a wallet placed a bid of 20,400 ETH, or around $65 million, more than four months ago

  • Before it could be approved, the bid was withdrawn

  • Among the other significant offers was Pranksy, a well-known NFT collector, who offered 800ETH, or around $1.5 million, in his bid

  • But this offer was also rejected, these significant bids demonstrate how highly the CryptoPunk collection is regarded

7. CryptoPunk #4156

  • The CryptoPunk collection also included the seventh most costly NFT ever sold

  • 4 months ago, number 4156 was sold for 2500 ETH, approximately $10.26m at the time

  • #4156 has sold several times during the course of its existence

  • It sold for 650 ETH less than a year ago, albeit the seller is probably hating themselves for doing so

  • Prior to this, a few months after it was issued, it was sold for 3.29 ETH more than 4 years ago

8. CryptoPunk #3100

  • When CryptoPunk #3100 sold for 4200 ETH, which was equivalent to $7.67 million at the time, it broke the previous record for the highest-priced NFT from the collection

  • Once more, since it was minted five years ago, #3100 has only ever been sold during this massive auction

9. CryptoPunk #7804

  • 10,000 distinct characters are contained in the CryptoPunk project, which is kept on the Ethereum blockchain

  • CryptoPunks are highly valued since no two are exactly the same

  • For anyone with an Ethereum wallet, CryptoPunks were initially free to mint when they were released

  • Some of the collection’s rarest available qualities are present in CryptoPunk #7804

10. Beeple’s Crossroad

  • The most expensive NFT ever sold at the time of its sale was “Crossroad” by renowned artist Beeple

  • It was sold on the NFT Exchange Nifty Gateway for $6.6 million

  • The image of a melancholy figure lying on the ground in the artwork is meant to symbolize Trump after he lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden

  • The NFT was interesting because it was available before the election and would alter depending on the results
