Abstract

This study presents a hybrid review of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) utilizing a hybrid approach based on bibliometric and content analyses. Employing the Scopus database, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 210 articles. Additionally, a thorough content analysis of the 43 most influential papers, filtered based on their publication in highly-ranked journals, is included to highlight key research themes and sub-themes. Most of the surveyed papers were qualitative and offered conceptual frameworks for NFT-based solutions to validate NFTs’ applicability and propagation of NFTs in various fields. The content analysis identifies six key streams: the common characteristics of NFTs, their expansion into creative industries, applications in both physical and digital realms, NFT-related hype on social media platforms, environmental impacts, market biases, legal and privacy issues, NFTs pricing strategies, diversification potential and connectedness, and the evolving role of NFTs in virtual and augmented reality landscapes. This study holds significant implications for managers, portfolio managers, investors, policymakers, and regulators.

解密 NFT 世界:关于趋势、挑战和机遇的学术综述
本研究采用基于文献计量学和内容分析法的混合方法,对不可风化标记(NFT)进行了综述。利用 Scopus 数据库,我们对 210 篇文章进行了文献计量分析。此外,我们还对 43 篇最有影响力的论文进行了全面的内容分析,这些论文是根据其在高排名期刊上的发表情况筛选出来的,旨在突出关键的研究主题和次主题。所调查的大多数论文都是定性论文,为基于 NFT 的解决方案提供了概念框架,以验证 NFT 的适用性并在各个领域推广 NFT。内容分析确定了六个关键流:NFT 的共同特征、向创意产业的扩展、在物理和数字领域的应用、社交媒体平台上与 NFT 相关的炒作、环境影响、市场偏见、法律和隐私问题、NFT 的定价策略、多样化潜力和关联性,以及 NFT 在虚拟和增强现实环境中不断演变的角色。本研究对管理者、投资组合经理、投资者、政策制定者和监管者具有重要意义。
