The term digital assets is particularly relevant in the areas of digital transformation, blockchain, eCommerce and digital commerce. Digital assets are digital values and resources that belong to a company or person and have a certain value. These include, for example, websites, social media profiles, digital images, videos, music files, e-books, specific software, but also cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Think of digital assets as the digital equivalent of traditional assets such as cash, property or equipment. In business, digital assets can be crucial for creating brand awareness, attracting new customers or selling products online.
An illustrative example: an online shop has various digital assets - such as product photos, videos on how to use the products, its own website and Instagram channel. These digital assets are indispensable for marketing and sales and represent real economic value.
The professional handling of digital assets is crucial for companies today in order to remain competitive and successfully shape the digital transformation.
