Legal Triggers In NFT Crypto Craze
The latest cryptocurrency craze has litigators closely watching from the sidelines. Buyers of digital non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are ready to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes more, but when disputes start to hit the scene, litigators said there is little to no case law as precedent.

The technology allows the minting of that digital content on the file. NFTs can double as contracts that can be verified against the blockchain to help identify ownership. Musician Grimes recently made a cool $6 million from selling NFTs, and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has announced that he is building an online NFT art gallery.
