On January 1, 2023, China will <a href="https://finance.sina.com.cn/jjxw/2022-12-28/doc-imxyfutf2620277.shtml">open</a> its first authorized network, the Digital Asset Marketplace for trading <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/pudgy-penguins-nfts-reach-record-highs-after-holiday-tour">nonfungible tokens (NFTs)</a>, based on a report from the local news source Sina News, published on December 28.

In an interview, Yu Jianing, a well-known authority on Chinese advancements in the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/fidelity-investments-seeks-to-tap-on-the-nft-market-and-financial-services-in-metaverse">metaverse</a> and <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/forum3-raises-10m-to-bring-digital-assets-to-brands-loyalty-programs">digital assets</a>, remarked that there remains a lot to be worked out with regard to industry regulation and surveillance because digital assets are a new kind of business. As a result, there is a lot of ambiguity. The listing and selling of digital assets fall squarely under the purview of platforms.
<h2>NFTs - Digital Properties to be Protected</h2>
Furthermore, on November 29, the Hangzhou Internet Court, which focuses on internet-related legal battles in China, determined that NFTs are digital properties that are legally protected.
