Mark Cuban, the outspoken entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner, has rekindled his interest in the NFT market, but this time by selling. After nearly two years of inactivity, Cuban’s crypto wallet, identifiable by its Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain “markcuban.eth,” sprung back to life on June 23rd with a flurry of NFT sales.
The sales included a mix of 14 NFTs, ranging from collectibles like Pudgy Penguins and Wrapped MoonCats to digital art pieces. These sales netted Cuban roughly $38,500. Cuban isn’t done yet though; two high-value NFTs, a Hashtag NFT (#MFFL) and a BibleNFT piece, are currently listed for sale with a combined asking price exceeding $66,000. If these sell, Cuban’s total NFT haul from this reactivation could surpass $100,000.
The reasons behind Cuban’s sudden NFT fire sale are unknown. It could be a simple portfolio rebalancing, a shift in his view on the NFT market, or perhaps he needs some liquidity for other ventures. Whatever the motivation, Cuban’s move comes amid a broader cooling-off period for NFTs after a red-hot 2021.
