The term 'fungible' is highly specialized and primarily used in legal, financial, and commercial contexts. In Brazil, it gained prominence with the rise of digital currencies and blockchain technology, particularly in discussions about Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The concept is essential in contract law and international trade, where understanding whether goods are fungible determines liability and compensation in case of loss or breach.
