What are some interesting use cases of cryptocurrencies and NFTs?

I am sort of out of the loop on cryptocurrencies and related technology.

There seems to be a lot of fluff and marketing hype in the space and much of it is centered on making money. Conversely there are a lot of people who are writing if off due to the scams and bubbles in the space.

I am interested actual use cases for cryptocurrency based technology where it adds real value. I am aware of some for eg. censorship resistance, hyper inflation due to increasing money supply etc.

Appreciate any input. Thanks.
