Any piece of information stored in digital format such as images, videos, photos, documents, media files, and other digital records can be called a digital asset.

Digital assets are not limited to online media. Real-world assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, and other commodities are increasingly being tokenized and converted into digital formats. Ownership of the tokenized asset gives rights to the underlying physical asset.

• Social media assets such as NFTs and metaverse objects
• Photographic and video assets such as images, photos, movies, and documentaries
• Knowledge assets such as patents, design documents, and architectural diagrams
• Currency assets such as CBDCs, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins

A digital asset is any asset that exists in digital form and conveys a right to use, transfer, or value exchange, rather than necessarily having a physical form.
