NFT financialization refers to bringing NFTs closer to financial use, mostly, by making NFT useful in DeFi protocols. NFT financialization is the most important element of NFT monetization innovation to overcome the low liquidity and high price volatility of almost all NFTs currently. NFT Fractionalization splits a NFT into smaller fungible tokens that represent partial ownership of the NFT. The NFT is locked in a smart contract and the ownership remains with the original holder. Fractionalization can unlock liquidity for NFT owners and cheapens access to valuable NFTs, and improves the NFT market spectrum. An issue with fractionalization is a reconstitution after ractionalization. Buyout auctions alleviate the reconstitution problem to some extent. *NFT fractionalization protocols: NFTX (https://nftx.io/), Fractional (https://fractional.art/), NFT20 (https://nft20.io/), Unic.ly (https://www.unic.ly/), Szns (https://www.szns.io/) NFT Lending uses NFT as collateral for loans. In peer-to-peer lending, borrowers and lenders manually negotiate and come to an agreement for loan terms such as duration, interest rates and loan-to-value ratios in a peer-to-peer fashion. This lending enables a customizable loan terms without a need to rely on price oracles. Because the matching process is manual time-to-liquidity may be slow. In peer-to-pool lending, liquidity providers fungible tokens into pools and borrowers take up loans from these pools instantaneously. Borrowers should put up their NFTs as collateral by locking them in smart contracts (digital vaults). This lending, however, must rely on price oracles to automate loan terms. *Peer-to-peer NFT lending protocols: NFTfi(https://www.nftfi.com/), Arcad (https://www.arcade.xyz/), MetaStreet (https://metastreet.xyz/) *Peer-to-pool NFT lending protocols: Bridgesplit (https://www.bridgesplit.com/), BendDAO (https://www.benddao.xyz/en/, PINE (https://pine.loans/), JPEG’d (https://jpegd.io/) NFT Rental market is where NFT owners can rent out their NFTs to receive income and renters can rent NFTs to use but without owning them. In collateral renting, renter has to put up collateral to rent the NFT to use (e.g., reNFT (https://www.renft.io/). Collateral-free renting separates ownership and utility of an NFT (e.g., IQ Protocol (https://iq.space/#top). NFT Price Discovery uses AMMs (Automated Market Makers)/bonding curves for an automatic price discovery in DeFi exchange liquidity pools (e.g., Uniswap and Sushiswap). *NFT Price Discovery protocols: Sudoswap (https://sudoswap.xyz/#/), Pilgrim (https://pilgrim.money/), Rootswap (https://rootswap.xyz/)

A NFT, which represents a physical/digital asset (ownership certification), can be monetized through the primary sales and secondary sales on marketplace. Popular NFT
marketplaces include OpenSea Binance Lucky Block Nifty Gateway Foundation and Rarible

Licensing
Licensing
A NFT, which represents the intellectual property (IP) rights of a physical/digital asset, can be monetized through the licensing for royalty incomes.

Financing
NFT IPs can be pooled to use as asset-backed securities for securitization financing from institutional investors. NFTs also can be pooled to use as collaterals for DeFi
money markets (NFT+DeFi = NFTFi)
money markets (NFT+DeFi NFTFi).

6. NFT Valuation
NFT Valuation
Floor Price
The NFT floor price is the lowest listed selling price for a NFT within an NFT collection on NFT marketplaces.
Market Approach
For a digital collectible/artwork NFT, a value can be evaluated based on recent comparable (similar asset characteristics) transaction price on NFT marketplaces.
*A good valuation reference for artwork NFTs:
NFT Valuation Guide (https://www.clearrating.com/resources/nft-valuation-guide)
Income Approach
A value can be evaluated based on regular cash flow generation potential through IP licensing and other income generating activities.
A good example is the music licensing royalties.
Prediction
A value can be evaluated based on available historical market price data to predict current and future NFT values.
Experts’ View
A value can be evaluated based on (a cloud sourcing) experts' evaluation by incentivizing honest answers.
*Upshot (https://upshot.xyz/) provides the NFT price predictions based on available historical market price data using machine learning models. Upshot also provides the

7. NFT Value Development
p
Scarcity
A NFT issuer can develop the scarcity by designing NFT with some rare features/characteristics and controlling NFT supply and demand. NFTs that are issued by well-
known brands/celebrities/community supports/fandoms/reputations/popularities also can add the scarcity.
*NFT scarcity evaluation solution:
Rarity.Tools (https://rarity.tools/)) and Rarity Sniffer (https://raritysniffer.com/) provide a ranking of the scarcity of individual collectible NFTs and how rare any NFT is
within their collection.
Utility
An utility NFT enables an underlying application that provides some economic utilities through a real-world use case. NFT utilities include providing direct economic values
to NFT holders (e.g., monetary return/rewards/redeemabilities/incentives/benefits) and/or functionalities (e.g., VIP membership/access pass/passport to exclusive
experiences/events/communities/products/real estates) and/or diverse applicabilities (e.g., applications in metaverse/gaming/fashion/retail/sport/finance/music ...) and/or
sustainabilities (e.g., life cycle management of a product) and/or technical features (e.g., dynamic/consumable/composable NFT; interoperability).
*A good reference for the utility NFT:
Here are the top NFTs with Utility (https://supplain.io/news/top-nfts-with-utility)
Sustainable Tokenomics
A good token economic system design enables a better NFT liquidity, and thus, an economically sustainable NFT ecosystem , which significantly affects the long-term
economic value of NFT holders.

*High liquidity provides an ability/opportunity to realize the expected/market value from a sale in a reasonable time frame.
