NFT project CryptoPunks made it to the list of the most expensive NFT collections after token #5822 was purchased for 8000 ETH ($23,7 million at the time of the purchase) by entrepreneur Deepak Thapliya on February 12, 2022.
Fan tokens also appeared in the book as a separate category. Manchester City FC's token, issued through the Socios platform in June 2021, was recorded as the "most valuable fan token" with a market value of $47.1 million as of March 24, 2022.

They told Cointelegraph reporters that each updated edition “tries to reflect that year's zeitgeist and the topics our readers are likely to be discussing.” Cryptocurrencies have been added along with topics such as space travel and TikTok, they said.
