Digital Assets
Traditionally, digital assets referred to media files like photos, videos, and documents. However, it now includes blockchain-based assets such as cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and stablecoins. These assets often leverage technology to ensure secure, transparent and decentralized ownership without the need for traditional intermediaries like banks.
Digital assets can be owned, transferred or traded and span several categories, including financial assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as media assets such as digitized creative works and proprietary data. Additionally, tokenized real-world assets represent digital claims on physical items like real estate, while storage and security for all of these are typically managed via digital wallets and cryptographic keys.
