[Speaking] Talk about Cryptocurrency and NFTs

Bitcoin, a top example of Cryptocurrency, is on the verge of becoming formally accepted.	대표적인 암호화폐인 비트코인이 제도권 진입을 앞두고 있습니다.
Some companies have adopted it as an acceptable method of payment and purchased it in large amount.	일부기업들이 비트코인을 허용 가능한 결제 수단으로 채택하면서 대량으로 매입하는 경우도 있었습니다.
Investing companies are starting to recognize cyptocurrency as an investment asset.	투자사들도 가상화폐를 투자 수단으로 인식하기 시작했습니다.
Stock brokerages are preparing to release Bitcoin and ETFs (Exchange-Traded Fund), and some countries have already given them the green light.	증권사들은 비트코인 ETF 출시를 준비하고 있고, 일부 국가들은 이미 승인한 상태입니다.
Cryptocurrencies are clearly a market worth watching.	앞으로 가상화폐는 더욱 눈여겨봐야 하는 시장임이 분명합니다.
Meanwhile, NFTs (Non-Fungible Token) use blockchain technologies to certify assets as real.	한편, NFT는 블록체인 기술을 사용하여 자산을 진품으로 증명합니다.
Works of art are being converted to NFTs first and foremost, and they are gathering attention.	예술작품들이 가장 먼저 NFT로 전환이 되면서 주목을 받고 있습니다.
Currently, such high-value NFTs are being traded at auction houses.	현재 이러한 고가의 NFT는 경매사들을 통해 거래되고 있습니다.
Auction houses rich in heritage like Christie's and Sotheby's have joined the auction, recently starting NFT transaction.	전통 있는 경매사인 크리스티와 소더비도 최근에 NFT거래를 시작하며 합류했습니다.
