This was back in 2015, but during the release of Cryptopunks in 2017, it went viral followed up by CryptoKitties. Later the MoonCatRescue was out which became the third non-fungible token project. Talking about the Cryptokitties, the amount raised as an investment by the project was $12.5 million and from there many artists and Hollywood stars started joining the platform. The purchase of MOCA- the Museum of Crypto which became the largest-ever purchase ever made on NFT witnessing a sale of $55,555.55. Artist Trevor Jones sold his masterpiece “Picasso’s Bull” making MOCA one of the Cointelegraph’s top 100 most famous people in the blockchain.
