    Since the dot-com bubble, the potential of digitization has been evident, with technological advancements resolving issues surrounding financial transactions and documentation, thus globalizing investments. In today's digitally empowered era, where information is readily accessible, investments in various assets like stocks, digital currencies, property rights, copyrights, and art have gained popularity. At the same time, rapid technological advances continue to shape contemporary society and impact global economic processes. Digitization has led to the gradual integration of phenomena such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into various societal aspects. Although cryptocurrencies trading takes advantage of the unique blockchain technology, ensuring the digital security is imperative. The emergence of NFTs, distinguished by their unique and irreplicable nature compared to traditional cryptocurrencies, has significantly boosted the popularity of digital assets. In the Republic of Croatia, both corporate entities and individuals are increasingly engaging with these emerging crypto assets, prompting a closer examination of readiness for adoption.
