Australian crypto entrepreneur Kain Warwick has sold his four-story West Village “glass box” penthouse at 601 Washington — with a plunge pool and a rooftop hot tub — for $29 million, according to property records.
Warwick is taking a hit on the splashy spread, which he bought as a pied-à-terre for $30.65 million in 2021. The residence was asking $36.5 million last December.
Warwick is the founder of Synthetix — a crypto-based derivatives platform — and Infinex, a crypto company.

In 2021 — the same year that Warwick bought this penthouse — two of his three brothers, Kieran and Aaron Warwick, briefly became billionaires, separately, for their role with their other brother Grant in creating a crypto computer game, Illuvium. It allows players to own their in-game assets, NFT “monsters,” that they capture, trade or keep.
This “townhouse in the sky” comes with six bedrooms, six baths, two powder rooms, a private elevator and up to 16-foot-high ceilings — along with multiple outdoor spaces.
It opens on the seventh floor with a gallery that leads to a 43-foot great room and a 25-foot chef’s kitchen. There’s also a dining area that showcases downtown views from sliding glass doors that open to a wrap terrace.

Upstairs, there’s a full-floor main bedroom suite with walk-in closets, a gas fireplace and a spa-like bath.
Outside, there’s a summer kitchen, a pergola-shaded dining area, a fire pit and that plunge pool with an infinity edge — all with downtown views that include One World Trade Center and the Hudson River.
