Dear Bankless Nation,

Of course, it goes without saying that there’s way more to art than money.

Yet when it does come to art and money, longstanding auction house Christie’s has the distinction of facilitating billions of dollars worth of transactions around some of humanity’s most prized artworks year in and year out.

Now after their first NFT foray with Beeple last month, Christie’s has seen firsthand that the next great wave of prized artworks are going to be digital artworks. NFT artworks.

So the auction house has done its homework and picked its next NFT focus: CryptoPunks. This is history in the making, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy these times, we’ll always look back on them as a turning point!
