Someone Just Paid $12 Million Worth of Crypto for 101-Carat Diamond

A rare 101.38-carat pear-shaped D-Flawless diamond named “The Key 101.38” was sold by British-founded auction house Sotheby's this Friday.

An anonymous buyer from Hong Kong forked out a staggering $12 million worth of crypto for the gemstone.

It’s not clear what cryptocurrency was used for the record-breaking purchase, but Sotheby's only accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum.
