The most valuable NFT sold last week was sold on Foundation by Edward Snowden for $5 million to PleasrDAO. The proceeds from the auction go to the Freedom of Press Foundation. It’s a strong contrast with Paris Hilton’s Iconic Crypto Queen, which took second place with a $1,11 million sale.
Snowden combined all pages from the court case which ruled that the NSA violated the law into an NFT. It was a case with historical significance and one that’s still very relevant today. The new owner of the NFT is a group called pleasrDAO, which acquired another charity NFT by digital artist pplpleasr last month.
In second place we find Paris Hilton and her collaboration with Blake Kathryn. They sold their combined artwork Iconic Crypto Queen for $1,11 million on Nifty Gateway. Three other artworks by the duo raked in another $308,870.
At an impressive third place is the Pepe the Frog NFT Genesis, which is an official NFT of the first time Pepe the Frog was shown in a comic. This was before he became part of internet culture. That the comic book page sold for 420 ETH, which was $1,02 million at the time of the auction, makes it extra symbolic.
