Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) caught fire when Beeple managed to sell his collection of NFTs for a sum of $69 million. The world is going through a digital transition, and most people do not even realize how fast it is moving towards a metaverse. Metaverse is the future conceptual internet that is created by the convergence of enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space. If a person leaves behind their phone at home, they experience missing limb syndrome.

This increased dependency on technology has raised the possibility to treat digital space as a real-world commodity. Almost all games have in-app purchases and valuable assets that are used to upgrade and grow in their ecosystem. People are not only buying in-app game purchases with real money, but they are also ready to pay for accounts that have virtual resources in abundance. NFTs can revolutionize this market by allowing the users to have real ownership rights over a digital commodity or digital space. 

Does NFTs have any legislative Limitations?

The technology for NFT has been created; however, the users are still experimenting with different models that could unlock its true potential. For NFTs commodities, there seems to be a lack of legal clarity and protection. If a person buys an NFT artwork from companies like NBA Top Shot, they are bound to inform their bidders that the linked NFTs artworks do not include reproduction or commercialization rights. 

This issue has been taken up by John Eagen, CEO at L’Atelier BNP Paribas. Eagen says that it is up to the federal authorities to sketch and apply legal parameters around virtual asset ownerships. The precedent has not been set yet. However, the accomplishment of complete rights of NFT could entitle the owner to initiate a legal contract where the terms could be dictated as per their requirements. 

What are some highly Potent Opportunities of NFTs?

The NFTs are a basic form of virtual legal ownership that allows the creators, artists, developers, and coders to set the parameters, dynamic, and price recognition independent of the commercial markets. This could mean that people can buy access to a secret digital vault online that is only accessible via an NFT. It could also provide a number of universal digital resources for the gaming world, which applies to all upgraded versions.

NFT empowers the artists to have the power to act as an independent institution without going through rigorous qualifications or a conditional registration process. Outside of the arts and music NFTs could also be used for social media content, virtual collectables, domain names, and advertising slots, etc. Since NFTs run on blockchain and are decentralized, they create the potential of creating absolute economic freedom for their users.
