LONDON, June 15 (Reuters) - A set of non-fungible tokens previously bought by bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital sold for $10.9 million at Sotheby's in New York on Thursday, the auction house said.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a blockchain-based asset that represents ownership of a digital item such as an image, video or piece of text.
It sold for $6.2 million on Thursday, Sotheby's said, having been bought by Three Arrows Capital for around $5.9 million in August 2021 according to DappRadar data.
Singapore-based Three Arrows Capital was the first in a series of major crypto firms to go bankrupt in 2022, following the collapse of cryptocurrencies Luna and TerraUSD.
Another seven of Three Arrows Capital's NFTs were already sold for $2.5 million at a Sotheby's auction in May.
