Non-Fungible Tokens: The Technology That Made a 10-sec Video Worth USD 6.6 Million

Every day, crypto technology evolves, and we observe a change in buying and selling things in the digital world. If Salvator Mundi by Leonardo da Vinci could fetch hundreds of millions of dollars, a digital selling of a 10-second video can also take you by a storm.

A Miami-based art enthusiast Pablo Rodriguez-Fraile bought a 10-sec video paying USD 67000. No other investment could have shot his balance sheet with profit like this –he sold the same art at astonishing USD 6.6 million! The incident set a hallmark of capitalizing on digital investments.

A couple of years back, the NFT market had estimated the worth of hardly USD 42 billion that skyrocketed with the growth of over 700% by the end of the pandemic year 2020. The marketplace of NFT is expected to break all the records as the entire business ecosystems are turning virtual. 

NFT could include anything –from digital artwork to sports cards to plots in real estate etc. Nevertheless, NFT drew everybody's eyeballs when NBA's Top Shot portal opened up to the users to purchase and trade NFTs. It was done in the form of visual clips from the games.
