Invoice factoring through NFT invoices: a case study
Non-Fungible tokensOne of the first major use cases for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that grabbed the attention of the public was digital art. From the likes of digital avatars from Bored Apes or CryptoKitties selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars, to a digital painting NFT sold for over $69 million dollars [1]. It allowed art creators to tap into new markets worldwide, through the use of blockchain technology. Applications of NFTs have since evolved to include access (tickets), identifi...
