Pranksy, one of the most influential yet enigmatic figures in the NFT space, began his journey in 2017 with a modest $600 investment in ETH to purchase CryptoKitties. Remarkably, he hasn't needed to invest additional fiat since his early ventures laid the foundation for a prolific career in digital collectibles.
His strategic acumen was evident when, on September 4, 2021, he acquired Zombie CryptoPunk #6275 for 1,000 ETH (approximately $3.89 million) and sold it the same day for 1,320 ETH (around $5.12 million), netting a $1.23 million profit within 24 hours.
Pranksy's influence extended to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) phenomenon. On May 1, 2021, he minted 1,250 Bored Apes, a move that significantly contributed to the project's rapid sell-out and subsequent cultural impact.
Beyond trading, Pranksy has engaged with celebrities and sports figures, facilitating NFT deals with personalities like Gwyneth Paltrow and NBA star Josh Hart. His endeavors also include initiatives like NFTBoxes and the House of Pranksy, aiming to foster community and innovation within the NFT ecosystem.
