{{See also|NFTs}}
Digital collecting takes place in the [[blockchain]], and it got popular at the end of 2020 with the [[NFT | NFT craze of 2020–2021]]. Collectors can buy, trade and exchange digital items (NFTs) usually associated with images or artworks. These items are usually bought using [[cryptocurrency]], although many marketplaces have made it possible to purchase NFTs using standard credit cards as well. Just like in physical collecting, items can hold value due to different reasons, but they are not necessarily monetarily valuable, rare, uncommon or aesthetically pleasing. The [[Curio Cards]], the [[Rare Pepe]] or the [[CryptoPunks]] are amongst the first cases of digital collectibles. Digital collecting also applies to [[digital art|digital artworks]].<ref name=":0" />
