A digital asset is anything that exists in a digital format and comes with a right to use. This includes photos, videos, documents, and even cryptocurrencies or NFTs. To be considered an asset, it must have the potential to provide value and be discoverable. In the modern economy, managing these assets is crucial for both individuals and businesses to protect intellectual property and brand value.
