The digital asset community is on a very high note as the hashtag #NFTDay trends within the Twittersphere to mark the date in the annuals for a jamboree in the world of non-fungible tokens, simply known by their abbreviation, NFT. This annual event puts a spotlight on the growing influence and booming popularity of these very special digital assets known as NFTs, which define ownership of unique items such as artwork, music, and even virtual real estate.
What Are NFTs?
NFTs are basically digital, unique tokens stored on blockchains, acting themselves as some decentralized record for any digital transaction. Unlike the fungibility of other cryptocurrency mediums like Bitcoin, every unit of which is interchangeable on one-to-one terms, each Non-Fungible Token is quite different—a copy apart. It is this uniqueness that made them so famous for dealing in arts and digital collectibles.
Growth of NFTs
Within the last couple of years, NFTs have increased manyfold in popularity. They offer artists and creators the ability to regain the lost capability for monetization with no intermediation. Much in the same way that OpenSea, Rarible, and Foundation have emerged as leading marketplaces for NFT transactions, which include buying, selling, and trading, it becomes easily conceivable.
Key Highlights of NFT Day
Community Celebrations: Crypto elites and NFT artists engage with their audiences through giveaways, generation of limited-edition NFTs, and new product launches.
Educational Activities: Platforms take this day to educate the general public on NFTs: what they are, how to use them, and how people can get involved in the space. Webinars, live streams, online courses, and more are being used to bring beginners up to speed on the details of the issue when considering NFTs and blockchain.
Exclusive Drops: Many NFT creators are using this day to drop limited edition pieces. Almost always, these drops go on to create much noise and lead to super-fast sales, thus pushing further interest in the NFT market.

The Impact of NFTs
NFTs are disrupting a broad array of industries with their core functionality: providing fresh revenue streams to artists, musicians, and content developers. They are also providing a new kind of digital ownership, which can be easily authenticated and verified on the blockchain.
