List Of Most Expensive Non-fungible Tokens

This is a list of the highest known prices possibly paid for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing digital assets.

Background

Monetization of digital assets as NFTs became possible with the release of Etheria, on the Ethereum blockchain, in 2015. From late 2017, the NFT market grew quickly. In the first three months of 2021, NFTs worth US$200 million were traded.

One of the earliest NFT projects, CryptoPunks, has provided several of the most expensive NFTs. There were some NFT-like projects or "proto NFTs" that pre-date CryptoPunks; Rare Pepes, for example, was released on Counterparty in 2014.

List of highest prices paid

This list is ordered by consumer price index inflation-adjusted value (in bold) in millions of United States dollars in .The Wikipedia template uses a yearly average inflation. Using monthly averages gives slightly different numbers, most significantly for paintings sold early or late in a year with significant inflation. Where necessary, the price is first converted to dollars using the exchange rate at the time the NFT was sold. The inflation adjustment may change, as recent inflation rates are often revised. A list in another currency may be in a slightly different order due to exchange-rate fluctuations. NFTs are listed only once, i.e. for the highest price sold. To maintain a manageable size, only NFTs that were sold for an adjusted price of $2 million and above are listed.
