[UltimaOnline]

Now, the mystery seems to have been solved with the buyer turning out to be a Singapore-based coder of Indian origin, who paid for it with cryptocurrency, and goes by the pseudonym Metakovan.

Metakovan, who is of Tamil descent, is the founder of Metapurse, a fund that collects non-fungible tokens or NFTs. NFTs signal ownership and authenticity of digital art by recording the sale through blockchain technology.

Metakovan describes himself as a crypto native who did not have a bank account till recently and still does not own a house or car, according to a recent interview. He started in cryptocurrency in 2013 when Bitcoin was about $100.
