Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, leapt into pop culture prominence in 2021, but they’ve been around since at least 2014. Despite current market conditions, new tokens and collections are still being launched daily, including by luxury brands like Gucci and Prada. Tiffany’s, the iconic retailer, even announced a jewelry partnership with CryptoPunks, selling pendants based on those NFTs for around $50,000 each. During July’s Bloomberg Live Crypto Summit in New York, Stacy-Marie spoke with industry leaders about why they’re confident that NFTs will continue to be perceived as valuable and useful.

Crypto is the world's hottest financial trend. Digital tokens like Bitcoin and NFTs have moved from niche products to showing up in Super Bowl commercials and song lyrics.  Advocates of these new asset classes promise they will democratize the finance industry, and they hail the blockchain technology that backs it all as the future of computing. Skeptics say it's another financial house of cards. No newsroom on the planet is better equipped than Bloomberg to cut through all the noise and provide clarity, context and authority. In this new daily podcast, Bloomberg’s reporting team will tease out what’s actually important in the crypto conversation. Led by crypto expert Stacy-Marie Ishmael, the podcast will draw on reporters in every region and credible voices in the industry to cover everything from regulation to alt coins to DeFi, and even the environmental impact of the currency that promises to change the finance landscape indefinitely.
