Special Issue Information

我们非常高兴地宣布，《中国金融评论》将推出 "非同质化通证（NFT）与创新金融：数字化、去中心化与通证化 "特刊。

在当前金融界乃至全社会日益去中心化的背景之下，自2021年初以来，非同质化通证（NFT）逐渐成为区块链技术中最为广泛使用的应用。NFT是可交易的，因此可用于交易诸多品类的数字化商品，包括图像、音乐、视频、虚拟作品（如游戏中的物件、推文）等艺术品和藏品。每项资产的产权是被唯一认证的，与之关联的线上交易往往通过区块链上的智能（自动执行的）协议进行。在虚拟市场中，NFT市场因其破纪录的销量也吸引了职业投资者的目光：由于大量新参与者的涌入和新媒体的热议，2021年的交易量与2020年相比增量惊人。区块链市场的高波动性也驱使投资者和市场参与者更多地关注NFT场景的多元化、去中心化（DeFi）通证和加密货币。本期特刊正是在这样的背景下设立的。

当前世界经济受到去全球化、数字化的挑战，同时又面临去中心化和通证化的机遇。在此背景之下，虽然NFT获得了如此之多的关注，各界对其在创新金融中的角色仍知之甚少。因此，我们诚挚地邀请各位学者对这些主题进行研究。我们也期待本期特刊中的文章能够激发未来更多对不同场景下NFT产生、采用和交易的研究。特刊特别关注，但不限于以下方面：

• 区块链、网络3.0、DeFi、通证经济和数字经济

• 玩赚类游戏、元宇宙和玩赚类通证

• 基于NFT的市场和数字化平台

• NFT资产的战略定价

• 用实验金融的方法研究NFT

• 特定的NFT种类，例如CryptoPunks、Bored Apes等

• 投资者情绪对NFT价格的影响

• NFT市场中的商业模型

• NFT可能的定价路径

• NFT市场中的风险投资

• NFT数据集和创新性想法

• NFT定价的新模型和手段

It is a great pleasure to announce that China Finance Review International is dedicating a special issue of “Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and Alternative Finance: Digitalization, Decentralization, and Tokenization”. In the background of the rising decentralized finance and the broader decentralized society, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) emerged as one of the major applications of blockchain technology to achieve evident public prominence since cryptocurrency from early 2021. NFTs are transferrable and hence tradeable rights to a diversity of digital assets, including art pieces or collectibles in the form of images, music, videos, and virtual creations such as in-game items, tweets, and memes. Each asset’s ownership is uniquely certified, and its associated online transactions are often encoded within smart (automatically-executed) contracts written on a blockchain. In the crypto landscape, great attention has also been drawn from professional investors when the NFT market has experienced record sales, with the 2021 trading volume achieving a phenomenal growth rate from 2020, primarily a result of the surging new market participants and new media discussions. The high volatility of the blockchain markets has driven the attention of investors and market participants to concentrate on the diversification avenues of NFTs, DeFi Tokens, and Cryptocurrencies. This special issue is motivated by a surge in the NFT activity of creators, investors, traders, media, and regulators.

‍

Given that NFTs have received growing attention from many, little is known about the role of these financial instruments in alternative finance in a current world economy under challenges of deglobalization and digitalization as well as opportunities for decentralization and tokenization. We, therefore, call for new research explorations on these topics, both theoretical and empirical. It is anticipated that papers included in this special issue will stimulate further research on NFT production, adoption, and trading in different contexts. Potential topics of special interests, but not limited to,

• Blockchain, Web 3.0, DeFi, Tokenomics, and digital economy

• Play-to-earn games, metaverse and play-to-earn tokens

• NFT-based marketplaces and digital platforms

• Strategic pricing of NFT-based assets

• Experimental methods in finance to NFTs

• Specific NFT classes such as CryptoPunks, Bored Apes, and more

• The effect of investor sentiment on NFT prices

• The business models of NFT marketplaces

• A discussion of possible asset pricing routes for NFTs

• Venture capital investment in NFT markets

• NFT datasets and potentially innovative ideas

• New models and approaches to price NFTs
