"Confused about Yuga Labs selling cryptopunks IP for only $20m Allow me to explain: "Infinite Node Foundation" or whatever is an arms length non-profit. There's overlap between boards on Yuga and Node foundation. Extremely tax advantageous to move the IP from one hand to the other. The acquisition price was never disclosed but let's assume it was 400m for cryptopunks IP for sake of argument. Yuga then realizes they overpaid for IP that can't monetize without public blowback after the woke punks fiasco. Yuga "sells" the IP to their associated non-profit booking a -380m loss on paper they can"
