On January 14, 2025, the floor price of CryptoPunks NFTs rose nearly 15% within three hours, reaching a peak of 40.39 ETH from 34 ETH.
The increase was attributed to speculation about a potential sale of the CryptoPunks IPs by Yuga Labs, fed by rumors started by researcher Wale.moca.
Despite speculation, Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano confirmed no immediate plans for sale, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the collection’s legacy.
