CryptoPunks Sweep Top Ten NFT Sales with $2.56M Record

The NFT sector has seen a clear rise in activity over the past week. Data from Phoenix Group shows a strong demand for high-value NFTs. CryptoPunks have completely taken over the rankings. All the top ten weekly NFT sales belong to this collection. This surge shows growing interest from larger investors and a broader audience. The latest figures reflect a strong position for NFTs in the wider crypto market.

CryptoPunk #1021 Takes the Lead with $2.56 Million Sale

At the top of the list stands CryptoPunk #1021. The NFT was sold for 720 $ETH, which equals about $2.56 million. This makes it the highest-value NFT sale of the week. The second spot goes to CryptoPunk #9797. It was sold for 140 $ETH, generating about $503,340 in revenue.

Breaking the CryptoPunk streak at the very top, Fidenza #154 claimed third place. It brought in 90 $ETH, which is worth about $343,980. Following closely in fourth place is CryptoPunk #7211. It sold for 75 $ETH, valued at roughly $292,470. Fifth place belongs to CryptoPunk #7409. This sale recorded 68 $ETH, with a value of around $290,890.

Eighth to Tenth Place Sales Show Narrow Margins

CryptoPunk #5347 ranks eighth on Phoenix Group’s list. Its sale brought in 70 $ETH, which equals about $278,210. In ninth place is CryptoPunk #603. It generated 64.7 $ETH, valued at about $276,850. In tenth position, CryptoPunk #9515 concludes the list. With a sale price of 70 $ETH, this NFT brought in almost $271,020.

The sales numbers show that high-value NFTs are in considerable demand, particularly in the CryptoPunks collection. Significant cash value and $ETH purchases indicate continued trust in the NFT market. Even though CryptoPunks are at the top, the fact that one Fidenza made it into the top three further demonstrates that collectors are still looking for variety.

It seems that institutional investors are becoming more interested in NFTs. The magnitude of recent trades demonstrates this. These significant acquisitions increase market awareness and draw in new players. The pattern also suggests that NFTs are more powerful in the crypto market as a whole.

If this momentum continues, the NFT market could see even more record-breaking sales in the near term. Collections like CryptoPunks are likely to keep dominating due to their history, rarity, and recognition. However, other art-based NFTs like Fidenza may still find space in the top rankings. The next few weeks will reveal whether this growth can sustain or even expand further.
