NFTs have become very popular in Asia, and there are many different creators in this space who are creating all sorts of digital assets that are based on interesting and different things than the average crypto token.

NFTs Taking Over Asia: Rex Teo and his NFT Empire

Today we talk with Rex Teo, the founder of Mutant Ape Kids Club, which has created 3 different NFT series so far with plenty more coming in the future. In this interview, he talks about his history as a NFT creator and why he got into it, as well as how to get involved with NFTs.


Introduction


Rex Teo is  the founder of Mutant Ape Kids Club NFT, a top-ranked NFT creator in Asia with more than 3 series of NFT created since January this year. Rex has been invited to share his knowledge at well-known conferences like Token 2049 Singapore this year. He is also invited as a speaker to DCENTRALMiami this year to speak on “NFT and its application”. He hopes that through such conferences, he can be able to bridge the gap between developers and blockchain fans. He founded two companies which give those who are interested in crypto and blockchain the opportunity to come together to develop products for the non-fungible token and DeFi market. He hopes that these initiatives will bring about new opportunities for everyone.


The Mutant Ape Kids Club NFT Series

This project was not only a success from the perspective of MAKC, but also from the perspective of blockchain as well as NFT's. It has been met with positive feedback from both communities in Asia who all want to be a part of it. The biggest testament for this is that within 72 hours, 3K copies of the collection were sold which equals over 10 million USD! There is something about the idea of owning digital objects that we can't get our hands on. He later founded another popular collection known as Bored Ape Teen Club.

MAKC launched the M2 collection in April 2022 under the banner of TRX Labs (then renamed 2MR Labs). Among this year's top NFT projects is the M2 collection with 5,010 NFTs, 310 traits, and 10 Legendary NFTs with unique attributes and traits. Proof of the aforementioned man's track record of success in the NFT space has arisen again, with the collection minted out in less than 48 hours. With his partnership with multiple other big projects, he is set  up for continued growth and success in the coming years.

What Are The Future Trends In ICOs, Blockchain And Cryptocurrency?

The future trends in ICOs, blockchain and cryptocurrency are difficult to predict. What is certain is that the number of people who understand blockchain will grow exponentially in the coming years. Rex Teo shares his vision on how NFTs can help bring value to everyone, not just in terms of collecting and trading  but also utilizing them for more real-life applications like ticketing. The technology behind these things could be used for so many different applications - games, movies or you name it, he said. It’s a pretty exciting time. He is one of the top NFT creators in Asia. So according to him the future  of blockchain-based collectibles and crypto assets is bright because the barrier to entry is very low compared with traditional business models where there are usually too many middlemen involved. And with its transparency, security and decentralized nature, blockchain has huge potential for application in both business and government sectors.

Closing Remarks

The ambitious entrepreneur has a keen interest in blockchain and crypto space. His knowledge of coding makes him intrigued with crypto and believes it will have immense potential for the future. Without Bitcoin, the world would be unrecognizable. He also spoke about the importance of building a decentralized ecosystem that is impossible to destroy.
