There, images of real cars are traded as car NFTs for prices for which one could sometimes buy multiple copies of the model in question – all for unique values on the blockchain that, unlike Bitcoin, are not divisible. The crypto crash of the past has once again underlined how quickly yesterday’s money makers can lose massive value or become worthless almost overnight.

DeLorean DMC-12: Auto-NFT three times more expensive than the car itself
According to the car rental company, the cult car from “Back to the Future” is currently changing hands for an average of almost 50,000 euros.

This was all the more remarkable, according to the article, given that the buyer did not acquire ownership of the Auto-NFT. The copyright remained with the creator.
