The division will support strong demand from its existing and growing pipeline of asset owners and enterprises looking to leverage blockchain to develop proprietary and third-party branded content.

Certain NFT assets built on the public Ethereum blockchain can be traded as well as withdrawn and traded on other markets – providing content owners and individuals with a flexible and robust space to maximize opportunities in the NFT space.

Johnson ChenFounder and Chairman of CapBridge, said, “Digital ownership has long been a key tenet of our technology-driven private asset gateway. NFTs have opened up new avenues for businesses and brands to engage with customers and subscribers in creative and meaningful ways. from real estate to art, our blockchain-based tokenization engine can transform these valuable assets into virtual assets that have a deeper connection with investors, customers, and subscribers through various monetization and engagement options, while providing higher monetization potential for asset owners.

The planned addition of the e-wallet function in the second quarter of 2022 will further differentiate PONTE™ as an optimal choice in Asia for creators, asset owners and NFT-savvy individuals. While the platform will initially support NFTs based on the Ethereum standard and Ethereum Layer-2 protocols, other NFT protocols will be gradually included.

On the growth potential of NFTs in AsiaChen said, “Even though the world’s top brands recognize the importance of virtual content, Asia still lacks an effective, community-centric, user-friendly platform to spawn creativity and connectivity for many creators and their supporters. With our latest addition of a dedicated NFT unit, we hope to build the best assured platform possible in Asia for the NFT community and private digital assets. The strong support of our strategic shareholders and technology partners will allow us to connect with leading brands in Asia who want to create unique experiences for their customers, while allowing us to guarantee the providence and authenticity of the NFTs issued.”
