Rumors of CryptoPunk # 9998 being sold for $ 532 million were circulating at the end of October, but this was a case of an owner selling and repurchasing the same NFT using a loan. flash, similar to the way of a fictitious sale.
A case of lost love
The former owner of CP4156 would have been disappointed by the creators of CryptoPunks, Larva Labs, regarding the lack of clarity around the ownership and intellectual property rights held by those who purchased CryptoPunks. Sales of CryptoPunks totaled $ 1.7 billion to date, according to CryptoSlam.
One of the Canadian developers of CryptoPunks, John Watkinson, apparently wrote in the Discord channel of CryptoPunks that they would adopt the NFT license used by Dapper Labs for Cryptokitties. However, no proof of this appears in the terms and conditions of the Larva Labs website. The license allows the display of the NFT and its commercial use up to a revenue of $ 100,000. When @ punk4156 tweeted to ask Watkinson for clarity, he was “unfollow” and then ignored.
