Considered one of the city’s biggest NFT collector clubs – its more than 150 members own and manage assets from the renowned Bored Ape Yacht Club worth 30,000 Etherium (about HK$767 million) – Elite Apes will be helping as an “honorary adviser”.
GOLD4HK said it would work “hand in hand to keep educating the Hong Kong market about NFTs”, while the partnership will also include a collaboration between their Olympic-themed fencing NFTs and Elite Ape’s Bored Ape commercial rights.
It also teased a “real life exhibition” to be set-up in Hong Kong in the future.
Initial mock-ups include images of star foilist Cheung during last year’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with a Bored Apes-themed face replacing his mask.
