Non-Fungible Tokens are perhaps the most exciting development in crypto this year. While many believe the future of NFTs to be bright, few understand their value and potential. To separate hype from hard facts, Kraken Intelligence has compiled an in-depth report outlining what they are, how they work, and why they’re valuable.
