Sotheby's withdraws sale of 104 CryptoPunks
The event, hosted by the famous auction house Sotheby's, was on its way to becoming one of the biggest NFT auctions in history until the pseudonymous owner of the 'Punk It!" collection suddenly withdrew from the auction. The reasons for CryptoPunk's withdrawal are still unclear, but after the auction was canceled, the anonymous owner of the 104 Cryptopunks, who goes by 0x650d on Twitter, sent a seemingly casual tweet to his 12 thousand followers saying "nvm, decided to hodl."It's possible that rumours of a tepid response to the CryptoPunks mega-lot contributed to 0x650d backing down. However, the collector himself took the situation in stride, posting a meme suggesting that he was "taking punks mainstream by rugging Sothebys." Even if it was not a true "rug pull" where investors were illegally robbed of their money, Sotheby's and the community were definitely left in the dark.
Sotheby's is very active in the NFT space
Although this is Sotheby's first event focused exclusively on NFTs, the auction house has already proven that it can capitalize on the lucrative NFT market. Last year alone, it sold more than $100 million worth of NFTs, including $24 million at a single auction. Last year, Sotheby's sold a single CryptoPunk nicknamed Covid Alien in June for $11.75 million, including fees, a multiple of the $1.5 million opening bid. The punk, number 7523, was owned by a digital art advocate and collector known as Sillytuna.100% Success Money Back Guarantee

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.
