Yachts.com operates a virtual shipyard that builds NFT yachts for buyers worldwide. Located on the blockchain, it uses crypto technology to provide digital boat ownership. For those who don't know, an NFT (non-fungible token) is an asset created using the same kind of programming as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but instead of acting as a currency it is usually held as a collectible.
Some recent NFT sales include:
- A bundle of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs sold for $24.4 million at Sotheby's.
