Art Market Highlights

Rebel Punks:
‘CryptoPunks’ top the headlines. Cowboy ‘CryptoPunk #7892’ sells for 169 ETH ($531.248 USD), leading 268.75 ETH in total 24 hour collection volume (4 sales).

The Cowboy is 1 of 142 Punks with the trait, and many discuss its standing. MP9X says “the relevance that Western culture has always had in the art world is extremely important” while Stone calls Cowboys “the rebels of CryptoPunks”.

House of Spratt:
It is all Sam Spratt on Gondi, with two ‘Skulls of Luci’ loans and two ‘Masks of Luci’ sales.

The first Skull loan is a refinancing of the original ‘The Blueprint Skull’ with terms on $200,000 USDC principal improving to 15.29 from 17% APR ahead of a January 17th loan due date. The second is a new loan for ‘Recoated’ of $120,000 USDC principal at 16% APR over 30 days.

On the Masks front, ‘True Smell’ sells for $13,000 USDC to CssualCollector and ‘Undone Regurgitations’ sells for $12,575 USDC.

RD Report

It has been 17 days (!) since the 24 hour livestream, and it’s time for The DAM Show to return. Join us at 12:00pm ET live on X with the one and only Bryan Brinkman to set the table for 2026.

Along with CryptoPunks picking up momentum, we see other signs of art market secondary life. Winds of Yawanawa by Refik Anadol and Life In West America by Roope Rainisto are two of them. The Beeple Everyday Artifact is the heist of the day and is now relisted above its acquisition price.

Breaking news as of this writing is NFT Paris announcing the cancellation of this year’s event after four annual installments. They express pride in what was built and thank past participants. It couldn’t have been an easy decision, and we wish them all the best.
