Tiffany and Co have come up with a new NFT program, where in the NFT crafted out by the artisan will be available only to the Crypto Punk holders. Crypto Punk in itself is a NFT crafted by Larva Labs Studio in 2017.
Tiffany a popular jeweler has always been an enthusiast of the digital asset industry. The company’s announcement about the Crypto Punk pendant received a lot of publicity as it started trending across social media channels especially twitter. According to the reports, the pendants will be available only to the holders of CryptoPunk, who will purchase the NFTs and use them for the physical piece of the pendant. If the reports are to be believed the jeweler is tipped to earn around $12 Million from the sale of the NFT if they are sold out.
The main reason for the NFT to get such a high price is the limited supply of the NFT. Only 250 pieces were made of the NFT which were available at 30 Ethereum tokens, which approximately is valued at $50,000. Since, the announcement was made, the news trended and got mixed reviews from the users.
According to some, the cost of the NFT is too expensive and does not cater to every holder of NFT, while some believed that, the initiative is praise worthy, as it gives the NFT sector to grow.
The NFTs are tipped to be launched on the 5th of August and is predicted to be sold out soon after the launch.
