Huobi HTX Makes Appearance at NFT Taipei: Exploring New Trends in the Digital Economy
The digital age is akin to Mars colonization—a trend that the crypto world can lead.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
On December 1, Justin Sun, member of the HTX Global Advisory Board and founder of TRON, was invited to speak at NFT Taipei, Asia's premier NFT event. Delivering an online keynote titled "The Intersection of Digital Technology, Humanity, and Art," he shared his unique insights into the NFT market. As one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, HTX continues to closely monitor NFT market developments, driving innovation in the digital economy and offering users a rich, diverse experience in digital asset trading.
During his speech, Justin Sun showcased NFT avatars he owns, such as Tpunk#3442 and the BAYC Tron NFT ape avatar. He stated that the digital era is akin to Mars colonization—a trend that the crypto world is poised to lead. NFT avatars represent a new form of digital art that blends individual talent and artistic inspiration from traditional art with mass recognition and appreciation, embodying a more universal form of punk art.
Justin Sun believes each generation defines its era through distinct forms of art and expression. In this age driven by blockchain and artificial intelligence, NFTs and unique on-chain digital artworks reflect our generation’s creativity and vision. They are not only media for exploration and self-expression but also serve as our generation’s virtual gallery. Through NFTs, we can not only create art but also decentralize it and enable global interaction—an engagement that transcends physical boundaries, offering creators worldwide a space for real-time creation and participation.
On the integration of traditional art and NFTs, Justin Sun emphasized that in the digital age, NFTs demonstrate profound humanistic care. They赋予digital art genuine value and identity, ensuring creators’ labor and intellect receive proper recognition and reward. With NFTs, artists can communicate directly with audiences, breaking down barriers and intermediaries in the traditional art market, and exploring broader possibilities for creation and exchange.
Furthermore, Justin Sun introduced the APENFT Foundation, which he established in 2021 to advance the convergence of metaverse finance and art. The foundation’s collection includes Picasso’s "Nude Woman with Necklace Lying Down," Andy Warhol’s "Three Self-Portraits," Zeng Fanzhi’s "Portrait of Justin Sun," crypto artist Beeple’s "Ocean’s Front" and "ABUNDANCE," the complete "Cube" series by crypto artist Pak, and three pieces from Mitchel Chen’s "Digital Zones" series, with a total value exceeding 1 billion RMB.
Justin Sun admitted that as both a member of the HTX Global Advisory Board and founder of TRON, he is proud to participate in the new opportunities brought by digital art. HTX and TRON are committed to building secure and reliable platforms that allow more people to access and understand the value of NFTs. He believes NFTs will become a key bridge connecting the digital and physical worlds, unlocking new frontiers in human art and culture.
Notably, NFT Taipei—the largest NFT art and blockchain forum in Asia—took place grandly from November 30 to December 3 at Taipei’s Songyan Cultural and Creative Park. The event gathered dozens of top leaders from the Web3 world to explore how blockchain and NFTs will shape new opportunities in the next bull market, discussing diverse topics including blockchain gaming initiatives by major international AAA studios and how DeFi meets market demands. Meanwhile, the OneOffs Expo attracted over a hundred local and international artists, featuring a rare exhibition by Bored Ape Yacht Club—the world’s largest NFT blue-chip community—drawing more than 100,000 participants.
As a steadfast advocate of the digital economy, HTX looks forward to leveraging the NFT Taipei platform to strengthen connections with digital asset professionals worldwide, jointly promoting the prosperity of the NFT market, exploring new trends and opportunities in the digital era, and co-creating new heights for the digital economy.
