Non-fungible Tokens in Decentralized Finance: Revolutionizing Asset Liquidity and Ownership

Abstract

The study explores the impact of non-fungible tokens on asset liquidity within the decentralized finance system, based on a systematic review of thirty articles retrieved from major scholarly databases. We analyzed how NFTs contribute to increasing liquidity and facilitate a shift in digital asset ownership. Findings show NFTs improve asset liquidity by permitting fractional ownership and trade of assets that were previously illiquid, like real estate and digital art. NFTs’ unique characteristics and market volatility may make them less liquid. Blockchain technology that underpins NFTs offers transparent and unchangeable ownership records. The ramifications show how developers, investors, and regulators may take advantage of NFTs’ while resolving obstacles, including scalability problems and regulatory uncertainty.
