2021-03-08 | Big Bob
A leading Banksy artwork burned by
a gaggle of cryptocurrency-savvy 'NFT' artists has
sold for 228.69 ETH or roughly $380k at purchase.
The group behind the statement on non-fungible tokens [NFTs] accepted the offer earlier on Sunday afternoon. The OpenSea sale comes just days after the group physically burned the artwork within a Brooklyn park. An anonymous source told earlier
within this week that the artists purchased the piece for roughly $100k.
Injective Protocol
is the firm behind the Banksy buy. Spokesman Mirza Uddin
added that the group
remains to choose what charity will receive the proceeds from the NFT sale, though he did say
it'll be COVID-focused.
“We’re already planning our next event
together with a prominent artist,” Uddin added. “Our aim is to bridge
the planet of traditional art with
the ecosystem of NFTs. So, we’ll definitely be doing more to uphold this ethos.”
