The Cryptopunk #5364 NFT have been sold for 90 Ether (ETH) to an anonymous buyer. It was donated to the Aid For Ukraine campaign by user 0x165cd3, who procured the artwork on March 1, 2022 for 16.19 ETH (worth $31,722 at that time). Its value has substantially fallen over recent months: when it was first donated in March, Cryptopunk #5364 was worth more than $250,000.

Ukraine began accepting crypto and NFT donations in late February, shortly after Russian troops invaded the country. Since then, the nation has reportedly raised over $135 million in crypto through cryptocurrency donations and sales of donated NFTs. In March, a crypto group raised $6.75 million for the country’s war effort via the sale of a single NFT of the Ukrainian flag, while the Meta History Museum of War have been  starting to sell NFTs. In April, Binance Charity Donates $2.5 million in crypto.
