Sotheby’s will sell the world’s oldest non-fungible token, created in May 2014. It is about the geometric animation “Quantum” by digital artist Kevin McCoy, writes Reuters . The NFT sale will take place at the Natively Digital: Curated NFT Sale from June 3-10. In addition to McCoy’s animation, the auction house will sell 26 more works, including, for example, an NFT token from the CryptoPunk collection.
