As explained at the Security & Privacy Bytes blog, “[t]he buzz surrounding non-fungible tokens (NFTs) reached a fever pitch with the US$69 million sale of an NFT by digital artist Beeple in March 2021. While artwork has remained the predominant use of NFTs – and generated a good deal of media hype along the way − companies across a variety of industries are coming up with new and innovative use cases for NFTs – and turning to our multidisciplinary global team for guidance in the uncharted territory surrounding these digital assets.”

As some readers of CPW may already know, “NFTs are unique tokens based on blockchain technology. Unlike cryptocurrency tokens such as bitcoin, which are fungible, NFTs are digitally unique – no two NFTs are alike. The unique nature of NFTs, as well as the security and other advantageous features of blockchain technology, provide a number of unique benefits.”  You can check out Alan Friel’s, Kyle Fath’s and Carlton Daniel’s expert analysis here.
