Over the past day, Dragon’s sale has elevated the game’s trading volume to the highest level since February. Since its height in December, the total transactions on the app has dropped by 98.4 percent in January, and volume has remained slow since. The sale of Dragon may lead to a new resurgence for the game and the app. Although Axiom Zen generally doesn’t comment on sales, the studio speculated that “maybe there was a personal connection the buyer had to the cat or the seller.” Other theories range from the whimsical (she bit Rebecca Black) to the more cynical (it was a way to launder money), according to The Next Web. It’s unclear why Dragon fetched such a high price, but Rabona is now her new proud owner. Both Founder Cat #18 and #4 are both Gen 0 cats, making them more valuable. The previous sales record for the game was held by CryptoKitty Founder Cat #18, which sold for 253 ETH in December, or approximately $110,000 CryptoKitty #4 sold for $107,000. Newer virtual cats have an average selling price of around $60, according to CNET, and a median price of $9. Generally, earlier generations of the virtual cats are deemed more valuable, making Dragon a rarity in the game - she’s a ninth-generation CryptoKitty.
