Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs): Understanding the Basics and Legal Issues (Jul 2022)
NFTs have exploded over the last year as a hot issue for businesses as well as a cultural phenomenon. But what are they and how do they work? Blockchain, cryptocurrency, smart contracts and, in some instances, intellectual property and publicity rights all play a role in this new investment vehicle. What legal and regulatory issues should attorneys be aware of? The speakers break down this complicated technology into understandable terms, and discuss the creation or “minting” of NFTs, transacting in NFTs and the evolving legal and regulatory environment.
