Once remanded to the crypto fringe, NFTs are enjoying their breakout season. From sports collectibles and memorabilia to stables of digital stallions and closets of virtual sneakers, people are investing millions into a new wave of tokenized virtual and physical goods that allow to them showcase their passions, and profit from them, in entirely new ways.

The virtual collectibles space is just the beginning. New NFT-based platforms are being developed for everything from ticketing and merchandise to investing in team ownership or player futures. The current trend has some significant hype inflation, but the underlying technology is showing the potential to transform our relationship with sports by presenting myriad new ways to buy in, not just collectibles, but new ways to realize financial returns for the investment of time and money into sports.
