The art of investing – non-fungible tokens soar in popularity

Art, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. Apparently, that applies to video files. Take, for instance, the 10-second video artwork purchased by a Miami art collector for $67,000 in October 2020. This past week, he cashed in on his investment, selling it for a tidy $6.6 million. The video is considered an NFT or non-fungible token, meaning it is considered one of a kind, authenticated by blockchain. As Reuters points out,  NFTs, like cryptocurrencies, are surging in popularity with $8 million in sales for January and $86.3 million to the end of February, up from monthly sales of $1.5 million one year ago.
