The digital artwork is part of the 8,888 Cute Chubby NFT on Pudgy Penguins collection designed by freelance artist Cole Thereum, the project’s owner. 

The recent sale marks a new milestone for the Penguin collection as it is among the highest-selling virtual artworks in the group. In addition, it recorded the largest NFT sale within 24 hours at the time of purchase.

The PudgyPenguin #6873 NFT was bought by dreesuschrist on CoinUnited, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Hong Kong, from the seller who has held the digital artwork for almost a year. Before the sale, the NFT was purchased on CoinUnited for 225 wrapped ETH.

The Penguins’ recent sale came just a few months after Luca Netz acquired the project from its creator Cole Thereum for approximately 750 ETH.

The latest NFT sale comes when the cryptocurrency industry faces a new meltdown, with Bitcoin, the King coin retesting $21,000.
