According to CoinDesk, Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have continued to make a significant impact on global industries, despite a market downturn that led many to prematurely declare the technology 'dead'. The NFT market has seen sales volumes reach nearly 200,000 NFTs, valued at over $191 million per day. Despite some NFT markets experiencing a decline of over 90%, the technology continues to be a game-changer. NFTs are not just internet culture toys, as some may perceive due to high-profile projects like CryptoPunks and Bored Apes. They are a revolutionary way of recording who holds rights to an asset. NFTs can certify ownership and authenticity, and they come with many features of blockchains such as interoperability, secure transfer, and verification. The NFT industry has created a property rights system that is available 24/7/365 to anyone, anywhere at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems, and conveys uniqueness to any asset including digital files. The assets and the rights that can be conveyed through NFTs are virtually limitless. They are changing what’s possible and reshaping existing industries. For instance, in the world of digital art and collectibles, NFTs provide artists and IP holders a means to create a verifiably unique or distinct digital item, unlocking new avenues for monetization. The holder of an NFT receives rights that can include ownership, usage, and resale of the digital work. The financial world is also embracing tokenization. NFTs offer more efficient and accessible markets for traditional financial instruments with transparent ownership and instant settlement. They are also being used to represent carbon credits, ensuring authenticity and helping combat climate change while adhering to regulatory standards. NFT technology is revolutionizing various sectors including music, video, ticketing, gaming, trade finance, luxury goods, identity, private credit, AI, physical goods, and even vehicle registries. Just as the early days of the Internet brought about transformative changes, NFTs are reshaping the world with the same transformative power, creating unprecedented innovation and economic possibilities.

According to Odaily, Swarm Markets, a platform based in Berlin, is planning to launch Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) that represent ownership of physical gold.

This suggests that Swarm's gold-backed NFTs will be exempt from such regulations due to their unique and non-replaceable nature.

The aim is to resolve a refund issue involving 12,000 SOL within 90 days.

Wen, both personally and on behalf of the community, has put forth four demands to Slerf: no new tokens should be issued under the name of Slerf or Dev; the project's operational model should continue to be governed by Slerf DAO, with important decisions made by community voting rather than by Dev alone; an open attitude should be maintained and active communication with the community should be encouraged, including the establishment of official Chinese Twitter and TG channels; and the right partners should be actively sought.

If these conditions are met, BillyWen has committed to financially backing the Slerf project through the purchase of its NFTs. This development comes as part of a broader effort to ensure the successful completion of the Slerf project and to secure the interests of its pre-sale investors. The proposed community governance model and open communication channels are expected to foster transparency and accountability within the project, while the careful selection of partners is intended to ensure the project's long-term viability.
