A lot of the initial posts here will highlight influential companies that have had some ties to digital assets, however, the posts thereafter will be current and address utility:

-Owning your media (not having to subscribe to Prime and Netflix indefinitely to access the content you've already purchased).

-Empowering musicians to cheaply distribute their content without Spotify gouging their sales. (And for the artist to make money off every subsquent sale thereafter, not just the initial one)

-Having control over the assets you buy in games, such as skins/weapons/pets and the ability to sell them later on, or take them with you to an interoperable platform.

-Having the option to transfer/gift the tickets you buy off Ticketmaster, no matter what event it's for.

Even USPS Has NFTs Now (www.howtogeek.com)

Did you know the United States Postal Service has NFTs?

Stamps from the Post Office are among the most popular collectible items, and the USPS is taking that idea to the next level with its own NFTs. It brings that same level of collectability from the world of physical stamps to digital ones.

The United States Postal Service and VeVe (which also released NFTs from brands like Marvel) partnered to create NFTs back in November 2021, and the postal service talked about them again on its "mailin' it" podcast. (Did you know USPS had a podcast? We sure didn't.)

The original batch of NFTs was dedicated to Día de Los Muertos, and there were four unique NFTs to get. Each one was limited to a few thousand copies. They weren't costly at launch, with each selling for $6. However, they did sell out quickly, and now they're going for a minimum of $195 on VeVe's secondary market, so they weren't a bad investment at their launch price.

The USPS has since released four other NFTs on the VeVe marketplace, all of which are Christmas-themed as part of its A Visit From ST. Nick collection. The rarest of these is currently commanding upwards of $250, so it seems there's a market for these USPS NFTs after all.
