\nDigital assets are intangible resources, since they are based on a construction using computer data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This data, as it is given, will have a series of characteristics that will make it different from each other, such as the format in which the data is stacked, the way it is displayed or its usefulness, among other factors.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of digital assets<\/h2>\n

These assets, in addition to having certain characteristics of their own, also share factors that occur in all intangible resources:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • They have no physical form.<\/li>\n
  • They cannot be perceived by all five senses at the same time.<\/li>\n
  • It must be a product that can be used to make a profit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    On the other hand, a digital asset may have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • It is made up of data and is therefore digital in nature.<\/li>\n
    • Only a maximum of two senses can participate in its perception directly: sight and hearing.<\/li>\n
    • Although it is an intangible or non-physical asset, it is stored physically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Therefore, although a patent is an intangible asset, it does not have to be digital in nature. Another case would be that of a song, photograph, video or document that is digitized. In that case, we would be talking about a digital file, which would lead us to classify it as a digital asset.<\/p>\n

      Types of digital assets<\/h2>\n

      Depending on the utility and the way of achieving a return on the digital asset in question, it can be classified as follows:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Assets with a fixed market price:<\/strong> These are assets that, when marketed, have an established value towards the general public.<\/li>\n
      • Assets without a fixed market price:<\/strong> On the other hand, in this case, we find assets that do not have an assigned value and that may or may not be traded in a timely manner.<\/li>\n
      • Assets with technological gap:<\/strong> These types of assets must be continuously updated so as not to become obsolete and to be able to continue being useful in the future.<\/li>\n
      • Assets without technological gap:<\/strong> These are those assets that do not need any update because they are considered unique pieces that either cannot be updated or modified, or, if they can be, in a negligible way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        In general, in these two dichotomies that have been presented, the vast majority of digital assets are usually covered.<\/p>\n

        Examples of digital assets<\/h2>\n

        Some examples of digital assets can be:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Cryptocurrencies:<\/strong> It is that group of currencies that exist digitally. They usually have an established price range and do not have a need for constant updating, with few exceptions. Therefore, they are not affected by the technological gap in the short and medium term.<\/li>\n
        • Video game:<\/strong> It is a digital asset with a fixed market price and with a limited technological gap, since a video game is not eternally updated, but a new one ends up being created.<\/li>\n
        • Photographs of a family gathering:<\/strong> These digital files can become an asset if you can get some kind of performance out of them. An example would be to own the photos of a family get-together of a famous person and sell them to a magazine willing to buy them. Therefore, they do not have a technological gap and do not have a fixed market price either.<\/li>\n
        • Album of a rock group:<\/strong> Music can be obtained or acquired physically or digitally. In both ways, you end up hearing practically the same result, only the way of storage and reproduction changes (the same happens in movies and series). They can therefore be a digital asset with a fixed price with hardly any technological gap, beyond the supported formats.<\/li>\n
        • Economic management software:<\/strong> A computer program of this type usually has a fixed price and has the risk of a constant technological gap, since it must meet the continuous demands of users.<\/li>\n
        • Artistic piece of a digital nature:<\/strong> In this case, we refer to a digital asset that, being a unique and unrepeatable piece, has a value not yet fixed and that can fluctuate with some ease. In addition, it does not have the problem of technological gap since, being a unique asset and of an artistic nature, it does not have this need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          With these examples we can cover practically the entire spectrum of digital assets that we can find, although, as in all fields, this will grow as new technologies emerge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
