<p>Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s NFT acquisition appeared less than a month after he joined with other investors to raise more than $67 million for Infinex through a similar Patron NFT buyout. The Infinex Patron NFT collection is a non-fungible token series featuring a limited edition of 100,000 NFTs hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network.</p>

<p>During its previous funding, Infinex sold Patron NFTs to venture capitalists, angel investors, and the crypto communities. The venture capital firms that participated in the NFT sale included Fund Founder, a San Francisco-based venture fund backed by Billionaire Peter Thiel that invests in revolutionary technologies. Peter Thiel is a renowned entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and co-founder of PayPal.</p>
<p>Other venture capital companies that participated in the Infinex NFT sale included Wintermute Ventures, Framework Ventures, and Solana Ventures. Notable angel investors like Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, and Aave founder Stani Kulechov also bought a share of Patron NFTs. At the time, the NFT sale raised Infinex’s total value to $125 million.</p>
<h2 id="buterin-nft-acquisition-shows-that-nfts-are-reviving">Buterin NFT Acquisition Shows That NFTs Are Reviving</h2>
<p>During the NFT auction, Infinex successfully sold over 43,000 Patrons NFTs across the Base, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Optimism blockchain networks. These NFTs were distributed to purchasers on the Ethereum blockchain and are now available for resale via the OpenSea and Blur NFT marketplaces. Vitalik Buterin’s investment in Patron NFTs shows the market is finally reviving a brutal meltdown in the past several months.</p>
