As EtherRocks Hit Sotheby’s, Who Is Laughing Hardest?
Summary
Sotheby’s is launching a sealed auction of EtherRock NFTs, a collection of 100 cartoon rock images that gained popularity during the last bull market. The series has sparked debate within the NFT community, with some seeing it as a significant part of NFT history and others dismissing it as a 2021 meme. Despite controversy, EtherRocks have seen high-value sales, and Sotheby’s decision to spotlight the series has stirred further interest. The project's self-awareness and Sotheby’s endorsement have contributed to its appeal to collectors.
