What is a digital asset?
A digital asset is anything of value that is created and held in digital form. In crypto this includes cryptocurrencies, tokens and NFTs, with ownership usually recorded on a blockchain.
How broad it is
The term can also cover tokenised versions of real-world assets. What ties them together is that they exist and transfer digitally rather than as physical objects.
