NFT Collector Suffers Major Loss from Sale of Rare Alien CryptoPunk

An anonymous NFT trader has incurred a substantial $10 million loss after selling one of the rarest CryptoPunks, an Alien Punk, through a private transaction on Thursday. The sale saw the NFT, numbered #3100, change hands for 4,000 ETH, translating to approximately $6.07 million via the official CryptoPunks marketplace. This follows a series of significant sales for this particular Alien Punk, previously trading for 4,500 ETH in March 2022, and ultimately resulting in a loss of over $10 million compared to its previous sale.
