CryptoPunk #1563, a pixelated NFT featuring a woman with dark hair and blue eyes, has reportedly sold for a record-breaking 24,000 ETH, equivalent to approximately $56.3 million. This sale sets a new all-time high for NFT transactions. The NFT was listed for under 30 ETH just weeks ago. An earlier offer of 11,000 ETH ($25.91 million) was made on September 12. However, on-chain data reveals that the transaction was orchestrated using a flash loan, with no real buyer or profit, as the NFT was transferred between wallets during the transaction.
