NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 04: An NFT titled 'CryptoPunk 7523' by Larva Labs is on display during a press preview of the upcoming Natively Digital: A Curated NFT Sale at Sotheby's on June 04, 2021 in New York City. 2

It is worth noting that CyberPunks, a pixelated artwork collectible, emerges as one of the main reasons why NFT sales in August posted a staggering $900 million profit. It is a steep rise from its slump last June with only $60 million in sales.

As per Business Insider, "CryptoPunks" was first released by a two-man team firm, LarvaLabs, by Canadian developers Matt Hall and John Watkinson, last 2017. It was initially available for free as it was an early experiment at first.

However, this time around, CryptoPunks are now being sold to billionaires that have millions of dollars to spare, with a recent listing skyrocketing to $90 million.

With all of that said, here are the top 10 most expensive CryptoPunks that were ever sold.

This CryptoPunk is one of all the 88 Zombie punks that was released. It interestingly wears a gray-colored face mask and purple sunglasses.

According to LarvaLabs, the CrytoPunk 3831 was sold at a cool $2.08 million last July 30.
