10 weirdest things ever tokenized... including farts
Brazil’s B3 stock exchange recently made headlines by tokenizing 10 cows as collateral for a loan, sparking a broader question: what else can be tokenized? This article lists 10 of the strangest items ever represented on a blockchain, including:
1. A year's worth of farts, recorded and sold as NFTs by a filmmaker during the pandemic.
2. Cows, used as tokenized collateral for agricultural loans in Brazil.
3. Whiskey barrels, allowing fractional ownership of maturing spirits.
4. Racehorses, divided into digital shares for broader investment.
5. Uranium, a "technology-flavored commodity" traded onchain.
6. Fishy revenue, a proposed tokenized debt instrument tied to fish sales that ultimately didn't launch.
7. Music royalties, offering fans fractional rights to streaming income.
8. Human skin, where a tennis player auctioned advertising rights to a patch of her arm as an NFT.
9. A burned Banksy artwork, destroyed physically but preserved as an NFT.
10. Jack Dorsey's first tweet, sold as an NFT for millions.
The article concludes that while tokenization can improve accessibility and transferability of assets, it doesn't inherently make a poor investment valuable.
