Ape 'CryptoPunk #1021' sells for 720 ETH | $2,579,450 USD to Punks OTC from thebeautyandthepunk.
It is a 4th of the 24 Apes to change hands this year, with the last coming two weeks ago to GSQ.
Via Rodo:
"Most don’t realize yesterday’s CryptoPunk Ape was sold by Beauty and Punk, one of the few female Punk claimers.
She didn’t just claim that Ape. She claimed 4 of them.
In total, she claimed 38 Punks (incl. 2 Zombies).
She’s sold over $7M worth of Punks and still holds 24."
Also in the universe of rare Larva Labs artworks, Skeleton 'Meebit #16516' sells for 23.88 ETH| $85,811 USD to iExiliumVault from Punk6238.
With 57 Skeletons in the 1/1/20k collection, it the closest Meebit % proxy to Ape CryptoPunks level rarity.

While the headlines speak loudly, I'll point out the quiet conviction of two collectors:
Moderats continues to collect g0naji, an intriguing artist releasing primarily 1/1s at the edge of AI.
Antxx continues to make a splash in 'BIOME LUMINA' by Refik Anadok, acquiring another rare butterfly.
Last but certainly not least today is Transient Labs unleashing Juno, a "creative engine for building Living Art". It has a shot to be the most important dynamic art innovation in a long while.
