According to the startup, the cheapest bid it received for the golden skateboards was 200 ETH, worth approximately $266,518, based on the price of Ethereum pegged at $1,332.59 at the time of writing.

“The Golden Skateboard is a marvel of art & technology showcasing our first implementation of PBT, which paves the way for a new era of storytelling,” Azuki said in its Twitter announcement, adding that it “broke the record for the most expensive skateboard ever sold (in fact, the 8 most expensive skateboards ever sold).”

Azuki as an NFT brand has inked a unique spot for itself amongst the most elite of collections, now ranked as the 4 most valuable collection. The Azuki NFT is currently trading at a floor price of 11.5 ETH with a market capitalization of 140,538.45 ETH per data from CoinMarketCap

In all, Mike Winkelmann, the digital artist known as Beeple holds the title for selling the most valuable NFT to date. His Everydays: The First 5000 Days collage was auctioned for $69.3 million back in March 2020 and was later revealed to be snapped up by Metakovan.
