Digital NFT Definition
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are the latest cryptocurrency phenomenon to go mainstream. And after Christie's auction house sold the first-ever NFT artwork — a collage of images by digital artist Beeple for a whopping $69.3 million — NFTs have suddenly captured the world's attention.
So what are NFTs?
In
the simplest terms, NFTs transform digital works of art and other
collectibles into one-of-a-kind, verifiable assets that are easy to
trade on the blockchain.
Although
that may be far from simple for the uninitiated to understand, the
payoff has been huge for many artists, musicians, influencers and the
like, with investors spending top dollar to own NFT versions of digital
images. For example, Jack Dorsey's first tweet sold for $2.9 million, a video clip of a LeBron James slam dunk sold for over $200,000 and a decade-old "Nyan Cat" GIF went for $600,000.
