Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have predominantly been associated with digital art and collectibles. However, their potential applications are vast and varied. A recent groundbreaking decision by the Singapore High Court has spotlighted an innovative use for NFTs in the realm of financial investigations.

The Singapore High Court’s decision to allow iSanctuary, a UK-based financial investigation firm, to use NFTs, specifically termed as SoulBound tokens, to monitor cold wallets suspected of financial malfeasance is a significant legal milestone. These tokens, being non-transferable, will be permanently linked to the wallets, serving as a red flag for potential counterparties and exchanges.
