The reported $56 million sale of the CryptoPunk NFT is allegedly a sophisticated marketing ploy for a new memecoin. On October 3, it was reported on social media that Punk 1563 was sold for 24,000 ETH. However, on-chain data shows that the buyer received a 24,000 ETH flash loan from Balancer and then repaid the amount, calling into question the authenticity of the sale. Pseudonymous commenter 0xQuit noted that the sale was an advertisement for the “Kamala Harris Punk” memecoin. Share your thoughts in the comments.
