Clarify the legal nature and trading rules of NFTs, and establish access mechanisms and regulatory authorities
As China strengthens its regulation of the blockchain and virtual currency industries, NFT digital collectibles have emerged from numerous sectors to become one of the hottest Web3.0 industries in China. For a time, a large number of NFT digital collectible works appeared on many domestic social media platforms, with both primary and secondary markets experiencing significant enthusiasm. However, due to the lack of clear laws and regulations governing the field of NFT digital collectibles in China, the quality of various digital collectibles has been uneven, leading to widespread chaos within the industry.
When the bubble bursts, those swimming naked are inevitably exposed. As enthusiasm for the NFT digital collectibles industry gradually cools globally, domestic NFT digital collectibles have also faced a downturn, with frequent incidents of failures and scandals, resulting in numerous disputes involving NFT digital collectibles in China. In response to this phenomenon, Lawyer Liu Zhengyao of Mankun Law Firm was interviewed by reporters from Shangyou News, a prominent domestic media outlet, to provide legal insights and recommendations on the topic of "Chaos in the Domestic NFT Digital Collectibles Market" from a compliance perspective.

During the interview, Lawyer Liu Zhengyao emphasized that although the NFT digital collectibles market offers new business opportunities, it has also exposed a series of problems, including excessive speculation and technical management loopholes, which expose investors to high risks. Meanwhile, he suggested: "To regulate the digital collectibles market,it is necessary to further improve the legal framework and clarify the legal nature and trading rules of digital collectibles. First, it is essential to ensure clear copyright ownership of digital collectibles to prevent copyright disputes and infringement; second, detailed trading rules must be established to ensure that the issuance, trading, and transfer processes of digital collectibles are transparent and lawful." Lawyer Liu Zhengyao also pointed out thatestablishing access mechanisms and specialized regulatory authoritieswould be an effective way to protect investors' rights and interests and combat illegal financial activities; requiring digital collectibles platforms to regularly disclose operational information and financial status can increase market transparency and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of investors.
