Radio Bahrain is a regional pioneer and one of the very first globally in the radio industry to take the initiative to create their own NFT, Radio Bahrain Company’s CEO said. This is part of the station’s digital strategy to bolster their presence in the future and in the digital world.

NFT based concerts, events, and shows are some of the ideas the station has in mind for the future, he added.

An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a digital asset that marks ownership of digital products that exist online, such as art or music. It allows its owner to legitimately claim complete ownership of the original copy of a digital file in the same way one might own the original copy of a piece of physical art. It is built on blockchain technology, similar to cryptocurrencies, however, unlike cryptocurrencies, each NFT is unique and is a one-of-a-kind edition or part of a limited set, and can be used as a digital proof of ownership or certificate of authenticity.
