Non-fungible tokens are dominating headlines, yet even many advanced investors are not familiar with the new investable asset class.
Fungible Vs. Non-Fungible: NFTs simply refer to a unique digital item that people can buy and sell with each other. Some of the more common NFTs in 2021 include collectibles and digital art.
Taking a step back, it is important to talk about what exactly constitutes a fungible asset. Strictly speaking, a fungible asset or item is something that can easily be replaced with another identical item.
Bitcoin (Crypto: BTC) is one example of a fungible asset. If you have one bitcoin and sell it today, another bitcoin can be bought back the next day.
