Top 100 Most Expensive NFTs Of All Time (July 2021)

The monetization of digital assets has long been discussed in the technology world. One of the earliest NFT projects was a 2017 project called CryptoPunks by LarvaLabs, on the Ethereum blockchain and many of the most expensive NFTs sold have been images from their Cryptopunks series.

There were some NFT-like projects or “proto NFTs” that pre-date CryptoPunks, Rare Pepes released on Counterparty in 2014, and Etheria released on Ethereum in 2015. Since then, NFTs have grown to become a speculative market. Now, thousands of NFT sales worth millions of dollars are traded each day, while the number of weekly sales ranged between 15,000 and 50,000 in 2021.

This is a list of the highest known prices paid for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), featuring the top 100 most expensive NFTs, ranked by price in Ethereum (ETH).

The sale price of NFTs that were purchased in another currency (US$, EUR, etc.) or in another cryptocurrency (MANA, SAND, DAI, USDC), the sale price has been converted to the equivalent amount of ETH using the average price of Ethereum on the day of the transaction.

Check out the list of the top 100 most expensive NFTs of all time.
