Christie’s launched its own dedicated non fungible token (NFT) “on-chain auction platform” following successful high-priced NFT sales. It will enable full on-chain Ethereum auctions for cryptocurrency tokens.
“The first ever global auction house to host fully on-chain sales: introducing Christie’s 3.0. Built from the ground up together with three leading companies in the Web3 community @manifoldxyz , @chainalysis & @spatialxr.”

Among Christie’s past successes with NFT auctions is Beeple’s “Everyday’s – The First 5000 Days”, which sold for a record $69.3 million in March 2021, becoming one of the most expensive NFTs to date.
The NFT was sold in partnership with NFT marketplace MakersPlace at the time. In May 2021, the firm also facilitated the auction of nine CryptoPunks, whose winning bid was almost $17 million.
