Blockchain technology continues to develop, and one of its most significant developments is Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). They are changing the view of property ownership. Ten years ago, it was difficult to verify what was unique or valuable because digital data, such as songs or artwork, could be reproduced indefinitely.
NFTs solve this problem. Now, the creator has the right to their creation or the ownership of property because it is registered on the blockchain. Digital assets are now more than just art and music. Real-World Assets (RWAs) are the next important step in the rapidly growing concept of digital ownership.
RWAs are introducing traditional assets onto the blockchain, including equities, physical products, and tokenized real estate.
