NFT examples : 15 inspirations

NFT stands for Non Fungible Token. NFTs are new and fascinating. They are unique digital assets that have been in circulation since 2014 and are transacted in cryptocurrency. Used to indicate ownership of a digital object, these tokens are disrupting markets around the world, from art and video games to events and insurance.

Any digital asset can become an NFT. Since the release of NFTs, we have seen:
