As NFT artworks continue to rise in auction, museums and galleries are wondering how to take advantage of the growing interest in non-fungible tokens.

For most, it's proving to be a logistical challenge, at least for now. The art world is having its "NFT" period. If the phase really took off with the record sale of Beeple's Everydays: The First 5,000 Days (for US$69.3mil, RM287mil), auction houses and art galleries are rivalling one another with initiatives to get in on in this booming market.
