NFT market value dropped by over 95% in 2023

Proponents of NFTs argue that they provide a public certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership, but the legal rights conveyed by an NFT can be uncertain. The ownership of an NFT as defined by the blockchain has no inherent legal meaning and does not necessarily confer ownership of the underlying asset.

Example

An NFT representing a digital artwork initially sold for 1,000 but was worth 0 by September 2023.

Remember this

Understanding the market's volatility and the uncertain legal rights of NFTs is crucial for potential investors and collectors.
