Yuga Labs confirmed that punk owners will soon have commercial rights
Tweet from YugaLab co-founder Garga We have confirmed that puncture holders will soon have commercial rights to NFTs.
I love CryptoPunks. It is a well-known fact that Matt and John’s work gave BAYC a great deal of inspiration. @GordonGoner And I think punk is fine art. Generative art experiments have been imprinted on the blockchain and adopted by a diverse community stranded in 2018, when many left.

According to Garga, the goal was always to transfer the rights to the owner. However, due to the status of CryptoPunks in the industry, we didn’t have to rush the process.
