TRON Founder Justin Sun won the bid on a unique collection of Twelve Chinese Zodiac Heads

SINGAPORE –
Media OutReach – 13 April 2022 – The NFT industry for blockchain-based art is going viral. Metapoly XM, a brand under Poly Auction (Xiamen), hosted the Twelve Digital Zodiac Heads Special Auction recently. Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, has successfully won the bid on a unique collection of Twelve Chinese Zodiac Heads, which was purchased at a hammer price of around ¥9,832,500 (around 1,545,000 USD), an eye-opening price that can match major masterpieces deals of art works in recent years.

The METAVERSE and NFT attract the most eyeballs in today’s crypto world. The tsunami of new technology has profoundly stunned companies large and small including Meta, Microsoft, Disney, Nvidia, and BATJ. These industrial giants are actively placing their bets.

Justin Sun was appointed the ambassador to the WTO of Grenada last December, committed to promoting the integration of cryptocurrencies with sovereign states and boasts fans and followers globally. Each and every Chinese person comprehends the profound meaning of Sun’s purchase of Twelve Chinese Zodiac Heads, which is also a good deed for a renaissance of traditional Chinese culture. The works that Justin Sun clinched in Poly Auction are not pretty much the same as his previous art consumption. The purchase of this collection is an attempt to promote traditional culture as genuine Chinese.

APENFT Foundation is backed by the underlying technology of top-notch blockchains TRON with support from the world’s largest distributed storage system Bittorrent File System (BTFS), dedicated to promoting the creator economy and fostering the integration of finance, culture and art in Metaverse. Justin has amassed many top-notch artworks and donated some of them to APENFT Foundation for digital innovation in arts. It is also believed that one of the animal heads in this collection will soon be listed on APENFT Marketplace for auction and introduced as rare, special-breed horses into WIN NFT HORSE, a horse racing game co-launched by TRON, the APENFT Foundation, and WINKLink.

However, the lack of application scenarios has become a dilemma for future investors. For instance, how to benchmark the values of NFT properly? That is to say, if you participate in a traditional auction, the benchmark range of each piece of work is relatively clear. When it comes to the NFT auction, you might get totally lost given few clues of pricing policy could be captured per your rule of thumb.

Clear of the mentioned flaws, this young crypto tycoon may be aiming higher objectives that are ignored by observers, he might be considering setting up a digital stage for future art performing. As an insightful industry leader, Justin Sun has publicly announced his prediction that 50% of the world’s top 100 artists and artworks will be recorded as NFTs in the coming decade. A blockchain-based ecosystem has been building a bridge between traditional art and cutting-edge technology, presenting a most fruitful future to both the blockchain and the art industry.

The total market cap of NFT values has hit a new high of $17 billion per the latest calculation by the market observers. Justin’s personal NFT collections are regarded as part of incredible momentum amid the industrial tsunami. He had won many other well-know NFT works last year, such as The Nose (Le Nez), an iconic work by the venerated Swiss surrealist artist Alberto Giacometti, for upwards of $78 million at Sotheby’s New York Fall Auction 2021, as well as Femme nue couchée au collier (Marie-Thérèse) by Pablo Picasso at $20 million and Three Self-Portraits by Andy Warhol at $2 million at Christie’s 20th Century Art Evening Sale. He also won the bidding for OCEAN FRONT by crypto artist Beeple at $6 million.
