AF TV – Can Asia become the global NFT hub?


NFTs or Non-Fungible-Tokens are tradeable, uniquely identifiable, secure versions of a digital asset, including jpegs and videos, that come in many forms. They can range from digital art and photos to even a song. Any unique creation can be a non-fungible (non-interchangeable) token with monetary value.
