what is a digital asset?

A digital asset is anything created and stored digitally that has value, is identifiable, and discoverable. Digital assets cover a broad range including photos, documents, videos, cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and more. They can represent monetary or intangible value and can be owned, transferred, or traded digitally. The concept has evolved with technology, especially with the rise of blockchain, enabling new types of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Essentially, a digital asset must provide value, ownership rights, and be accessible or stored in a way that it can be found and used.
