Auction house Sotheby's sells Pak NFT for nearly $17 million

Sotheby's sells NFT for $17 million
Luxury auction house Sotheby's revealed that it has auctioned off a nonfungible token (NFT) for roughly $17 million. The NFT art piece titled "The Fungible" is the work of Pak, an anonymous digital artist.The NFT was auctioned off in a two-day sale on NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway. Thus, the auction house raised a total of $16,825,999 for the entire collection. According to Sotheby's, the collection included NFTs in the form of digital "cubes."
Sotheby's revealed that the individual NFTs in the collection include "A Cube (1), Five Cubes (5), Ten Cubes (10), Twenty Cubes (20), Fifty Cubes (50), Hundred Cubes (100), Five Hundred Cubes (500), and Thousand Cubes (1,000)."
Although the total sales from the Pak NFT collection are pale compared to the amount Christie's auction house raised for the Beeple NFT, it still indicates that traditional auction houses are showing great interest in NFTs.
The Pak auction encountered a few technical issues, but Sotheby's was able to resolve them. NFT platform Nifty Gateway experienced technical issues with processing credit card payments, but the issue was handled almost immediately.
Sotheby's tweeted, "This was an incredible journey with you all. Thank you. Now, we keep building." Pak's identity remains unknown but has been active in the world of digital art for nearly two decades.
NFTs becoming popular in the art world
More artists are open to the idea of creating their art in the digital form and selling it as NFTs. Thanks to blockchain technology, NFTs make it tough to duplicate art pieces and ensure that the artists get full credit and compensation for their work.The rise of NFTs has seen more artists, content creators, and media houses enter the market and look to creating genuine art pieces and digital content.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
