According to Siu, people purchase these items mainly due to their cultural symbols of identity and belonging rather than their functionality.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoPunks, launched in 2017 as one of the first NFT projects on Ethereum, have gained legendary status in the digital art world.<\/p>\n<p>At the peak of the market in 2021, the collection's floor price was worth an average of 125 ETH, but its value fell significantly during the market winter to a low of 21 ETH.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the NFT space enjoying some form of renaissance lately, CryptoPunks' value has surged in the past week by over 20% to 48 ETH, which equates to $177,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom and former BitMEX CEO, has shared a highly optimistic outlook for Ethereum (ETH), predicting that the digital asset could reach a new all-time high of $10,000 by the end of the year.
