An encumbrance is a right over an asset, enjoyed by someone other than the owner of the asset.
''Crypto-assets.''


Encumbrances prevent or restrict the owner's flexibility to use or dispose of the asset as freely as if it were ''unencumbered''.
(NFT).


A non-fungible token is a digital token - stored on a blockchain - that certifies a digital asset to be unique.


'''Liens''' and '''mortgages''' are examples of encumbrances.
The best-known, and most expensive, NFTs have related to works of art.




For the purposes of bank liquidity liquidity regulation, an asset may be considered encumbered if:
The difference between an NFT and a cryptocurrency is that units of the cryptocurrency are fungible (interchangeable) and each of equal value.
*It has been pledged; or
*It is subject to any arrangement to secure, collateralise or credit enhance any transaction from which it cannot be freely withdrawn.


NFTs are - by definition - unique and not interchangeable.

Crypto-assets.

(NFT).

A non-fungible token is a digital token - stored on a blockchain - that certifies a digital asset to be unique.

The best-known, and most expensive, NFTs have related to works of art.


The difference between an NFT and a cryptocurrency is that units of the cryptocurrency are fungible (interchangeable) and each of equal value.

NFTs are - by definition - unique and not interchangeable.

Accordingly, each NFT can have a different value.
