“CryptoPunks launched as a fixed set of 10,000 items in mid-2017 and became one of the inspirations for the ERC-721 standard.”

Two collections. One created the market, the other proved art could live entirely on-chain. Then they sold the IP and walked away.

One artist on this page. 46 collections in the median wallet we look at.

Every figure above comes from Alfred’s own dataset — sales, volume and owners read off the chain, floors from the marketplaces. On a wallet he goes one step further, to the number that gets buried under a decade of transfers: what you actually paid.

In the wallets we look at, nearly half of what people hold has no purchase price to look up. It arrived as a mint, a swap or a transfer.

Alfred follows each one back through the chain.

Both figures come from one reading: 16 wallets, 3,548 items, Sep 2026.
