A digital cat just sold for an ungodly amount of cryptocurrency.
Nyan Cat,All Sex Casino (2001) arguably 2011's hottest cat meme, is back in the news this week following the sale of a digital recreation of the artwork for 300 ether. At the time of the Friday sale, that was worth just under $600,000.
Welcome to the wild world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), unique digital items authenticated on the blockchain, that are selling for upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

There's a reason this all sounds so familiar. Back in 2017, another type of digital feline took the cryptocurrency world by storm.
Cryptokitties, as the name might suggest, were cats on the Ethereum blockchain. At one point, the game of breeding, buying, selling, and hodling the cats because so popular that it actually bogged down the entire Ethereum network.

But that was then.
These days, even the famed auction house Christie's is getting in on the action. An NFT auction, facilitated by the company, is set to take place less than a week after the Nyan Cat sale.
Notably, people are minting and selling all kinds of NFTs — like, for example, the "E. Honda gif" that New Yorker contributor and co-host of the CoinTalk podcast Jay Caspian Kang recently sold for over $500 in ether.
