Last week, a presumably Hong Kong-based team which is still anonymous at the time of writing minted the collection which would become the face of Asian NFT: Monkey Kingdom.
The auction can be viewed at: About Monkey Kingdom Monkey Kingdom is the first Asia-based NFT project to successfully generate mainstream awareness.
Wukong has been magically imprisoned by the Buddha under a mountain for over 500 years and has NOW ESCAPED! Designed to be Metaverse ready, MONKEY LEGENDS will feature fully customizable avatars that have the ability to wear branded outfits and other NFT accessories.
Strong interest is expected from both traditional art investors and NFT collectors as Monkey Kingdom's NFT collection has bridged traditional Chinese culture with contemporary art.
Since its launch in November 2021, it has come to symbolize the arrival of Asian NFT projects on the world stage.
The Monkey Kingdom almost immediately took over the collective consciousness of the who's who in Hong Kong with entrepreneurs, local and international artists, and art collectors began snatching Monkeys immediately.
