NFT-driven fantasy game Sorare NBA set a new milestone on Sunday when a 1\/1 NFT of Giannis Antetokounmpo sold for $187,000 worth of ETH<\/u><\/a>\u2014by far the highest sale for the relatively young platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single-edition Antetokounmpo NFT was auctioned off through Sorare NBA\u2019s own Ethereum-based platform this weekend and sold for about 113.9 ETH, or just over $187,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also the largest-known sale of any Giannis Antetokounmpo NFT. On NBA Top Shot, Dapper Labs\u2019 video collectibles platform on the Flow blockchain, the largest on-chain sale for the NBA championship-winning Bucks star is $95,000 in a transaction from February 2021. It\u2019s tied for the 16th-largest on-chain Top Shot sale to date.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when compared to physical trading card sales, even Sorare NBA\u2019s best can\u2019t compare to the athlete\u2019s top mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An autographed Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card\u2014with a piece of game-worn jersey embedded into the card\u2014sold for over $1.8 million in September 2020. It briefly held the record for the most expensive basketball trading card sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sorare NBA sale is significant for a platform that only launched in October, plus comes following several months of declining sales and prices for the wider NFT market. NBA Top Shot, for example, hasn\u2019t seen an NFT sale that high in almost two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
