New Delhi: Andy Murray is cashing in on the craze for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by selling the "moment" he won the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2013 in the latest such high-profile auction. NFTs are crypto-assets that record ownership of a digital item, such as an image, video or text, on the blockchain. While anyone can view or download the asset in question, only the buyer can claim the status of being its official owner.   So the buyer of Murray`s Wimbledon NFT will not own the copyright of the video footage, but a crypto asset which refers to a video of the moment the Scottish ace first won the coveted lawn tennis title.
