<p>Meet the pre-teen whose 'bank balance' is bigger than yours - a 12-year-old crypto expert whose NFTs have traded for more than $5MILLION.</p><p>Benyamin Ahmed learned to code from his dad when he was just five-year-old, and was instantly hooked.</p><p>But the bitcoin started rolling in last year when he released his own whale themed collection of NFTs - one-of-a-kind digital artworks which can be bought and sold.</p><p>His first sale of colourful pixelated whales sold out in hours and netted him £110,000 - a fortune which, combined with his other ventures, has risen to £750,000 in a matter of months.</p><p>The schoolboy doesn't have a bank account though, and hasn't withdrawn a single pound from his fortune.</p><p>It's all tied up in a cryptocurrency called Ethereum, which some argue could become worthless before investors even have time to withdraw.</p><p>But Benjamin - who has lectured at Oxford University on NFTs - reckons it's the future of currency, and he's sitting on a huge future fortune.</p><p>The child genius plans to leave his fortune where it is for now because he said he's simply only in the game to build his skills and experience.</p><p>In total, his collection of NFTs has traded - gone on to be sold over and over by other people - for a total more than $5million.</p><p>And the figure continues to rise as they become more and more popular.</p>
