The floor price for the popular non-fungible token (NFT) collection CryptoPunks surged 10% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko.

The spike in interest is likely due to the recent partnership between high-end jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. and blockchain startup Chain, which will give Punk owners a chance to purchase up to three diamond-encrusted necklaces for 30 ETH (around $50,000) each on Aug. 5.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection saw a similar spike in floor prices following the announcement of ApeCoin, a token that was rumored to be airdropped to BAYC holders. The floor price for the collection increased as much as 30% in the days following, falling back to pre-announcement levels the next week.
