Non-Fiat Tokens are digital assets that do not derive their value directly from or are not pegged to traditional government-issued fiat currencies. These tokens can represent various forms of value, including utility within a decentralized application, ownership in a real-world asset, or a share in a decentralized autonomous organization. Their value is determined by market supply and demand, utility, or the underlying assets they represent. They exist independently of central bank control.
