Dear Sirs and Madams:

 

Re: NFT Limited (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to the Company in connection with the Company’s resale registration statement on Form F-1 (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) and a preliminary prospectus annexed thereto (the “Prospectus”) (which terms do not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) to be filed with by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to the offering and sale (the “Offering”) by the selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to 9,253,262 Class A ordinary shares of the Company with a nominal or par value US$0.005 (the “Securities”) issuable upon conversion of amounts outstanding under certain amended and restated convertible notes (the “Notes”) issued pursuant to a securities and purchase agreement entered into between the Company and the Selling Shareholders on 6 May 2025, as amended on 3 June 2025.

3.QUALIFICATIONS

 

3.1We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands.

3.2This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

 

3.3We express no opinion with respect to the issuance of Securities pursuant to any provision of the Transaction Documents that purports to obligate the Company to issue Securities following the commencement of a winding up or liquidation of the Company.

 

3.4Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

 

4.OPINION

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

4.1The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (“Act”), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Act.

 

4.2When issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents and recorded in the register of members of the Company, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto. In giving this consent, we do not consider that we are “experts” within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities Act, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion letter as an exhibit or otherwise.

 

Yours faithfully,
