The program discussion focused on how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are being used to commodify a broad range of unique tangible and intangible items in art, music, sports, gaming and virtual real estate, key drivers for the rapid growth of the NFT marketplace, potential legal concerns that NFTs raise and their role in ushering in the next era of the digital economy.
