CryptoPunk 3860 is a male with distinctive features: cigarette, big shades, shadow beard and mohawk. The previous owner paid US$69,369 on July 29 before the NFT collectible was snapped up for less than one cent on August 4 and immediately flipped for $136,675.
According to blockchain data, new owner fazebank.eth paid 22 ETH (US$57,000) to ensure he won the sale.
What Happened?
According to Jonathan Clark, co-founder of DeFi platform Float Capital, the owner intended to sell the punk in a whitelisted sale but accidentally made it available on the open market, meaning anybody watching the market closely could see the listing go live and snipe the sale.
