What are the Different Types of Non-Fungible Tokens?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are now an integral part of the crypto ecosystem. Many people have entered the crypto industry through NFTs and many more people are picking interest because of it.

The market is already valued at $16 billion and expected to reach over $210 billion by 2030. This goes to tell you how much potential the industry has.

It’s easy to mix up NFTs with crypto assets such as Bitcoin, since they both  use blockchains, but they are not the same. The fundamental difference is that NFTs cannot be broken into smaller units even though they are indeed tokens. In other words, they are non-fungible.

Each NFT also has unique characteristics and cannot be duplicated or traded for another token as is the case with crypto assets which can be exchanged for other assets.

Even though NFTs have the general quality of being non-fungible and unique, there are different types of it. In this guide, we discuss the different types of NFTs and what makes them different from the other types. The following are the different types of NFTs.
