NFTs: Next Big Thing Or Bubble?

NFTs: Next Big Thing Or Bubble?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are described as "one-of-a-kind" assets in the digital world that can be bought and sold like any other piece of property but have no tangible form of their own. Just as Bitcoin has been hailed as the digital answer to currency, this new star in the cryptocurrency world is seen as the future of collectibles.

For a view on whether this is the next big thing or a bubble waiting to burst, we speak with Varun Mittal, Global Emerging Markets FinTech Leader at EY.
