Listen on:

Non-fungible tokens (NFT) have exploded in popularity in the past year. But what are they, really?

“NFT All-Stars,” CoinDesk’s new animated series, brings together a star-studded panel of investors, curators and innovators to debate, explain and laugh about all things NFTs. The hosts are the true OGs of NFTs: Blockade Games CEO Marguerite deCourcelle; EDM innovator, DJ and NFT artisan BT; ClubNFT CEO Artnome; and Highstreet co-founder Jenny Guo.

Joining this episode is Pete Holmes, stand-up comedian known for "The Pete Holmes Show" and "Crashing.” Holmes and the hosts imagine the possibilities for NFTs in the entertainment industry.
