An edition of XCOPY's digital artwork "Last Selfie" (2019) sold for a record-breaking $3.27 million (727 ETH) to a private collector, making it the highest price ever paid for an editioned artwork in the tokenized art space. The anonymous London-based artist minted the limited edition of 10 in 2019 for $20 each; the buyer's intermediary approached all ten holders, nine of whom rejected the offer before one accepted. Notable collectors who own editions include Raoul Pal, CozomoMedici, and punk6529, while AI art collector Jediwolf turned down the offer.
This sale underscores the enduring value and cultural significance of early crypto art, with "Last Selfie" described by digital art advisor Georg Bak as "one of the most recognizable icons of crypto art." The record price signals growing institutional recognition—one edition belongs to the Punk 6529 Museum—and suggests that top-tier tokenized works could reach valuations of $50 million or more in the coming years. The transaction also highlights the scarcity and collector loyalty surrounding XCOPY's oeuvre, reinforcing NFTs as a legitimate and high-value medium in the contemporary art market.
