A non-fungible token (NFT) depicting NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden just sold at auction for $5.44 million, or 2,224 ETH, after a flurry of bids in the sale’s final minutes.
It was not immediately clear who won the prize but they went by the username @PleasrDAO on OpenSea and on the Foundation platform, where the auction was held.
The sale makes “Stay Free” one of the single-most expensive NFTs to go at auction, behind Beeple’s $69 million magnum opus and a pair of CryptoPunks. Though many artists and athletes have emerged from the NFT craze with millions in total dollars, few have achieved such hauls with a single piece.
