Collectibles

Crypto collectibles are unique items minted on blockchain as non-fungible tokens for anyone to acquire. They are usually limited, and they sell for substantial amounts mostly due to blockchain’s tech that makes them unique and scarce, and humans understand scarcity.

Collectibles are items of value that can be sought for and acquired by collectors. Collectors can be anyone, from traders looking for short-term gains to crypto magnates that love collecting stuff. The categories include but are not limited to art, music, clips, sport, and games.
