CryptoPunks, a prominent NFT collection, have seen a notable increase in their floor prices over recent days. The floor price approached $235,000 (approximately 55 ETH) by August 9, 2025, and was expected to reach $250,000 shortly thereafter. By August 12, some CryptoPunks were trading around 60 ETH, roughly $275,000. Specific sales include CryptoPunk 3557, which was acquired at 51.5 ETH in an under-the-radar auction and subsequently listed at 230 ETH. Different versions of CryptoPunks have experienced price surges, with version 1 (v1) CryptoPunks rising 22% to a floor of 3.8 ETH and even 3.95 ETH ($18,400) on August 14. The recent growth in v1 CryptoPunks is attributed to the launch of a new independent marketplace built by the community, similar to the one that fueled the success of version 2 (v2) CryptoPunks. This development has enhanced trading power and visibility for v1 CryptoPunks, making them the top movers in the NFT market on August 14, 2025.
