XCOPY: A Top-10 List of Sales

On Thursday, November 4, A Coin for the Ferryman, an early NFT piece by renowned artist XCOPY, was sold for 1330 ETH, around $6 million USD at the time of writing. This sale now sets the record for the most expensive sale on SuperRare, despite its humble beginnings with its initial sale for 0.5 ETH back in 2018.

Sales like these have become a common occurrence in the NFT space recently. This is mainly driven by the fact XCOPY was one of the first original artists in the space. He has been sharing his digital artworks since 2010 and has been selling them as NFTs as far back as 2017.

Given how momentous this sale is for both XCOPY and NFTs generally, we thought it’s time to go through other notable sales by XCOPY:
