An anonymous NFT collector has suffered a $10 million loss after selling one of the rarest CryptoPunks on Thursday. On-chain data shows that Punk #3100 changed hands for 4,000 ETH, translating to approximately $6.07 million via a private transaction on the official CryptoPunks marketplace. The NFT is one of just nine Alien Punks in the original 10,000-piece CryptoPunks collection created by Larva Labs in 2017. Recognized for its distinctive blue skin and bandana, the Alien Punk is part of the most sought-after group in the NFT space. Blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence shows that this particular NFT previously sold in March of last year for 4,500 ETH, then valued at more than $16 million. The sale ranks as the third most expensive single NFT transaction by dollar value. Just days after that transaction, Punk #7804 exchanged for 4,850 ETH worth roughly $16.42 million at the time, marking the second-largest deal in the collection’s history. However, due to Ethereum’s price drop over the past year, Thursday’s 4,000 ETH sale amounted to just over $6 million, resulting in the seller making a $10 million loss from the transaction. While the parties in the exchange remain unidentified, Etherscan records show that the purchasing wallet received 4,001 ETH from an account labeled “Coinbase Prime 2” shortly before the sale. Alien CryptoPunks continue to dominate the top end of the NFT market. They are the rarest type in the collection, even more than the 88 Zombie Punks or the 24 Ape Punks. The top seven of the highest-value on-chain CryptoPunk sales involve these variants. Despite their status, CryptoPunks have not been immune to the broader downturn in the NFT market. Data from NFT Price Floor shows that their asking price has dropped nearly 43% in the last three months, currently sitting at $71,031. This figure marks a notable decline from the collection’s peak in November 2021, when the figure exceeded $400,000. Originally offered for free in 2017, the digital assets have evolved into cultural symbols of the early NFT era. In 2022, the intellectual property rights were acquired by Yuga Labs, creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. Earlier this year, speculation swirled about a possible sale of the product’s IP. However, Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano dismissed the rumors, stating that while many parties had approached the company, there were no plans to divest any time soon.

As Islamic finance nears $12.5 billion, Shariah-compliant crypto projects aim to serve two billion Muslims — yet supply lags behind growing demand. A new report by INPUT touches on the growing demand for Shariah-compliant crypto products, even as the market struggles to meet the expectations of the world’s two billion Muslims seeking ethical, interest-free financial services. The Islamic finance sector, currently valued at $8 billion, is projected to reach $12.45 billion by 2028, growing at a rate of 11.7% annually, according to the report and a note shared with crypto.news. This rising interest is creating momentum for platforms that align with Islamic financial principles, including the prohibition of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and associations with haram (forbidden) industries. Leading projects include HAQQ Network , MRHB, Sidra Chain, and Goldsand (formerly Inshallah Finance), all of which are building ecosystems around DeFi and digital assets that comply with Islamic law. HAQQ Network stands out as the largest, with $400 million in funding and over 6 million users across its product suite, including Islamic Coin, which allocates 10% of token issuance to charity. MRHB’s four-product DeFi stack includes TijarX and EmplifAI, while Goldsand supports halal staking with $4.5 million in staked assets. New INPUT report: "In 2025, Shariah-Compliant Crypto Products Fall Short of Demand" 2 bln Muslims seek financial services aligned with their values, yet compliant offerings are scarce. – Islamic finance → $12.45B by 2028 (11.7% CAGR) – 85% of Gen Z Muslims want Islamic banking… pic.twitter.com/N9OYBabfqG Sidra Chain, meanwhile, has processed nearly 13 million transactions from over 700,000 users. Despite this progress, the report notes a shortfall in offerings compared to demand — particularly among Gen Z Muslims, 85% of whom are already engaging with Islamic banking products. Experts say the path forward lies in regulatory clarity and standardized Shariah governance. With Islamic finance projected to reach $4 trillion globally, Shariah-compliant crypto may become a vital pillar of the emerging digital economy — if it can scale to meet growing demand.

Ukraine’s National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC) has proposed taxing cryptocurrency transactions nationwide. Key details from the NSSMC’s submitted framework outline an 18% income tax and a 5% military levy. The Commission highlighted that the tax would apply when users convert cryptocurrency to fiat or use it to purchase goods and services. Since legalizing crypto in 2022, Ukraine’s government aims for this framework to provide clear guidelines supporting regional crypto market growth. According to NSSMC Chair Ruslan Magomedov, crypto taxes are a “fast approaching reality,” not merely a hypothesis, he stated. He views the crypto tax regime as an urgent issue requiring immediate attention. Despite the chair’s firm stance, the commission’s proposed framework exempts crypto-to-crypto transactions from taxation. This approach aligns with systems in several European countries, including France and Austria, and other crypto-friendly jurisdictions like Singapore. Additionally, NSSMC exempts stablecoins backed by foreign currencies from being taxed. However, the proposed tax rules could apply an alternative approach with a reduced rate of 5% or 9% on stablecoins, considering Ukraine’s tax code already excludes income from transactions in “foreign exchange values.” Analysts believe these exemptions could boost Ukraine’s attractiveness for certain crypto activities. The assumption is the NSSMC aims to balance regional industry growth with ensuring proper taxation. Other details in the proposed framework cover crypto-related activities like mining, which the Commission could treat as a business activity. However, it is crucial to note that the proposal mentioned the possibility of a tax-free limit for small-scale miners.
