Question

With reference to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), consider the following statements: Which of the statements given above are correct?

  1. 1.

    They enable the digital representation of physical assets.

  2. 2.

    They are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain.

  3. 3.

    They can be traded or exchanged at equivalency and therefore can be used as a medium of commercial transactions.

Options

a

1 and 2 only

Answer
b

2 and 3 only

c

1 and 3 only

d

1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 3 is incorrect.

NFTs are unique, non-interchangeable cryptographic tokens on a blockchain representing digital or physical assets. Because they are non-fungible, they cannot be traded at equivalency (unlike Bitcoin or fiat money), meaning they cannot function as a standard medium of exchange for commercial transactions.

Fungibility means equal interchangeability; NFTs derive their value from absolute uniqueness, preventing their use as currency.

Answer: (a).
