NFTs in Finance in Germany
A non-fungible token (NFT) identifies a distinct token on a blockchain. In finance, that can help track a unique claim or document, but the token alone does not create ownership of an asset. The contract and applicable law still define the holder's rights.
What the token proves
The ERC-721 standard defines unique token IDs and transfer functions. It says nothing about whether a token holder owns a painting, a receivable or a security. That link has to be stated in enforceable terms outside the token. Finance Loop's tokenization page covers the wider asset and register questions.
Financial uses and limits
A unique token can mark a specific item in a custody, collateral or document workflow. A transferable financial claim can also be represented by a different token design. Before choosing NFTs, a firm needs to know whether the item must be unique, who maintains the underlying record and how errors are corrected.
