message	United Talent Agency (UTA), one of Hollywood’s biggest agencies, announced this week it has signed the rights to represent CryptoPunks, plus fellow NFT characters Meebits and Autoglyphs, all of which are creations of Larva Labs. CryptoPunks was one of the first examples of broadly recognizable art collectibles to be tied to NFTs. Launched in 2017 and initially given away for free, they’re now worth a collective $3 billion. It’s little wonder then that UTA has recognized the potential for non-NFT spinoffs using the pixelated punk characters. “I remember the first time I saw CryptoPunks and just thought, ‘I want one,’” Lesley Silverman, head of UTA Digital Assets, tells Input. “They have these unique characteristics where you feel compelled to own one and learn more. That to me is the sign of something really exciting and sparkly.” https://www.inputmag.com/culture/cryptopunks-larva-labs-united-talent- agency-uta-hollywood-deal-controversy/amp
