An NFT is one-of-a-kind digital asset that belongs to you and you alone – and some are selling for jaw-dropping prices. In November 2021, Christie’s auction house sold the first-ever NFT artwork by digital artist Beeple for an astounding $69.3 million, and has opened its own NFT marketplace. NFTs have also popped in the real estate market, with a Florida home recently auctioned off as a NFT for $653,000. The home’s property rights were minted as an NFT resulting in the NFT holder legally owning the property.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are pieces of unique digital content linked to the blockchain, are the Internet’s latest craze, an emerging digital asset class that presents a unique set of legal, commercial, and regulatory issues. NFTs can be digital artwork, GIFs, virtual trading cards, images of physical assets, and even tweets. Brands such as the National Basketball Association (NBA), Louis Vuitton, Coca-Cola, and the Associated Press are releasing their own NFTs to sell to their consumers. Now is the perfect time for you to watch this fun, engaging, and informative webinar to understand the wide world of NFTs and the opportunities - and risks - inherent in it.
