GDF Hubs

GBBC Digital Finance, together with its community of industry expert members, is driving the acceleration and adoption of digital finance to support the next era of digital commerce.

The GDF NFT Hub is a central resource of data, research, and market tools that addresses the key questions surrounding non-fungible tokens (NFTs). As the sector develops at pace, the Hub is designed to bring clarity to the subject, covering the areas that should be considered from a legal and regulatory perspective, as well as to present the new opportunities at play.

GDF is driven by its members to look at how we can help the digital asset community develop standards and best practices in new areas of activity. As new opportunities develop, we will continue to expand the NFT Hub.
If you would like your resource to be listed, or have further questions you would like us to cover, please get in touch.
