Today, Technical.ly covered a few exciting trends in the digital and startup space: NFTs, and the SEC's new crowdfunding regulations.

NFTs — that's nonfungible tokens — are unique digital tokens that can be sold on the blockchain, and they're growing in popularity among the digital art community, especially. Philly photographer Aaron Ricketts told reporter Michael Butler about his foray into the new form of buying and selling art.

And new investment rules expand on who can back the growth of companies they believe in. I asked Dale Pfeifer, the head of DC's Goodworld, about why her fintech company turned to the WeFunder platform for its latest raise.

Do you know of any artists (or anyone else) pursuing NFT sales, or any local companies pursuing crowdfunding as a means to raise capital? Or do you have thoughts on the practices' viability? Respond to this email and let me know.
