On November 14, 2024, Tai Group and the Minax team were invited to participate in the W2140 World WEB3+AI Expo and deliver keynote speeches at the RWA Development Summit.

Minax, the world’s first brand RWA exchange, was co-founded by Tai Group, a leading global digital technology enterprise, and KLICKL, a licensed digital financial services institution in the Middle East. Its management team consists of top experts from global brands and the Web3 industry, including financial executives from UBS, JPMorgan, and other prominent institutions. Minax is committed to digitizing brand assets, enabling global confirmation and circulation of value, thereby supporting brand growth and global expansion.

Minax Director Louis Yang was invited to deliver a keynote speech at the summit.

In her speech, Minax Director Louis Yang highlighted the vast scale of global brand assets, with an estimated total valuation potentially exceeding $10 trillion. This makes brand assets one of the largest and most promising segments within the entire RWA sector. However, brand assets have long been subsumed under corporate equity assets without independent status. Minax aims to help brand owners issue brand digital assets compliantly, leveraging Tai Group’s global presence and regulatory capabilities to enable uninterrupted 24/7 trading. Minax offers brand companies a new path for light-asset development through various forms such as brand private placements, brand crowdfunding, and IBOs, assisting brands in securing initial financing, their first fans, and initial orders.

Taiyi Group Founder Danny Deng Engages in RWA Discussion at Roundtable Forum

In a roundtable discussion, Tai Group founder Danny Deng discussed the changing regulatory landscape in the United States for cryptocurrency, especially following Trump’s recent political shift, and noted how global regulations on cryptocurrency and digital assets are becoming more favorable, promoting innovation in the RWA sector.

Danny pointed out three major contradictions currently facing the RWA sector: the first is the conflict between the independent regulatory policies of various countries and the need for a unified global market for RWA; the second is the contradiction between decentralized on-chain transactions and the need for centralized custody and confirmation for physical assets; and the third is the conflict between the low premium and poor liquidity of physical assets, which contrasts with Web3 investors’ preferences for high-growth investments. These contradictions have led many RWA projects to fall short of their initial promise, with limited scale and impact.

Historically, most RWA practitioners and traditional financial institutions have focused on heavy tangible assets, neglecting the potential of intangible assets. Brand digital assets align with the global trend of strengthening intellectual property protection and expanding service trade. With sufficient scale, traffic, and substantial appreciation potential, compliant RWA exchanges like Minax are poised to create an unprecedented incremental market, helping RWA realize its full potential.

[News] Digital Age of Exploration RWA Special: Pioneer of Brand Digital Assets—MINAX

At the recently concluded 1012EXPO, the world’s first digital maritime expo, Danny Deng, founder of Taiyi Group, unveiled MINAX, the world’s first compliant intangible asset trading system. In his keynote speech, Danny introduced MINAX’s primary mission: leveraging Taiyi Group’s global footprint and compliance capabilities, MINAX will assist brands in legally and compliantly issuing digital brand assets. Through WEB3’s global rights confirmation and trading circulation capabilities, MINAX enables the accurate valuation and exchange of brand-related intangible assets, ultimately integrating the largest and most valuable intangible assets—brand assets—into the WEB3 ecosystem.

Danny Deng, Founder of Taiyi Group, delivers a keynote speech introducing MINAX and its vision for brand trading.

Danny Deng emphasized that brand intangible assets are a critical category in the RWA (Real World Assets) space that has been long overlooked. While the RWA sector has primarily focused on the securitization of tangible assets, it has neglected the unique characteristics of Web3 and the actual demands of the market. Although tangible assets are substantial in scale, their profitability and growth potential are limited, making them less appealing to Web3 investors. For traditional investors, mature financial tools like REITs and SPACs already facilitate the securitization of tangible assets with better credit backing and liquidity, offering no significant advantages via RWA issuance. This stagnation in RWA development has hindered the emergence of viable business models, and Web3 has yet to achieve large-scale real-world applications.

Brands, being intangible yet impactful on tangible aspects, connect the digital and physical worlds. Brand assets, comprising trademarks, domain names, patents, IP licenses, and social media accounts, can be valued based on recognition, fan traffic, and licensing revenue. Licensing fees are a crucial component of brand value, inseparable from brand assets. According to QYResearch Group, the global brand licensing market was worth $275.936 billion in 2021. Additionally, Statista reports the combined value of the top 100 global brands in 2023 to be $8.3 trillion. When brand assets integrate with Web3, gaining liquidity and value reassessment, the market capitalization of brand digital assets could exceed hundreds of trillions of dollars, creating a new emerging market far larger than the current cryptocurrency market, supported by intrinsic value and unlimited traffic potential.

The explosive popularity of the brand NFT market has already demonstrated the immense traffic impact brands can bring to the Web3 world. However, brands’ understanding of NFTs remains limited to digital goods and short-term marketing campaigns. The lack of clear rules has resulted in haphazard issuance and significant price volatility, leading to a mass exodus of investors after the initial craze, leaving many NFTs worthless. The emergence of a professional brand trading platform like MINAX will rekindle community interest in brand digital assets, creating long-term, stable, and mutually beneficial relationships between brands, consumers, and investors.

Michael Zhao, Founder of KLICKL, UAE guest representatives, and Danny Deng, Founder of Taiyi Group, show their support for MINAX.

MINAX, short for Multiple Intangible Assets Exchange System, was co-founded by Taiyi Group, a global leader in the digital economy, and KLICKL, MENA’s first fully licensed digital asset institution. Based in the UAE, MINAX is equipped with compliance capabilities and licenses for issuing digital assets. It has also secured multimillion-dollar angel investments in its first funding round, including contributions from Qian Fenglei, Founder of Hengfeng International. MINAX will collaborate with professional investment banks, funds, law firms, and auditing firms to create a robust ecosystem for brands entering the Web3 domain.

MINAX will facilitate the creation and development of brands for SMEs and even individuals. Through various methods such as private branding, crowdfunding, and Initial Brand Offerings (IBOs), it will help brands secure initial funding, attract their first group of fans, and obtain their first batch of orders.

Thanks to Web3’s global nature, brand assets can be traded 24/7 across global exchanges, allowing investors worldwide to participate. Investing in brands has never been so convenient.

MINAX will also serve as a platfor

[NEWS]From Collecting Art to Investing in Artists: China’s First Artist Brand RWA Listed Successfully on MINAX

On December 18, 2024, the personal brand of renowned Macao contemporary ink painter Feng Zhongyun was officially listed on the MINAX Global Brand Exchange during a bell-ringing ceremony held at Lotus TV in Macao. The brand began trading at 11:30 AM, marking the first time a Chinese artist’s personal brand has been issued in the form of an RWA (Real World Asset). Following its debut, the brand’s price surged nearly 200% from its opening price.

With the development of the digital economy, RWA has increasingly captured the attention of global financial institutions. RWA refers to using blockchain technology to register and trade assets securely, while brand RWA transforms intangible brand assets into standardized digital assets through blockchain, achieving global recognition and interoperability. MINAX is the world’s first exchange specializing in brand RWA transactions. Operating under the regulatory framework of ADGM and FSRA in the UAE and with central bank authorization, MINAX provides global services, including RWA asset custody, issuance, and underwriting.

At the listing ceremony, Mr. Li Zisong, Chairman of the Macao Federation of Cultural Associations and Director-General of Lotus TV, stated: “The listing of Feng Zhongyun’s personal brand is a successful exploration of the deep integration of art, finance, and technology. Statistics show that China’s art market exceeded 500 billion yuan in 2023, and it is expected to surpass 1 trillion yuan by 2026. The art brand trading market holds immense potential for future development.”

Born in Beijing in 1967 and now residing in Macao, Feng Zhongyun began making his mark in contemporary Chinese ink painting in the mid-1980s. After graduating from the Chinese Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in the early 1990s, his works have been collected by institutions such as the National Art Museum of China, Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, Macao Lotus Art Museum, and Japan’s Mount Fuji Museum. His large-scale freehand ink art integrates traditional Chinese painting heritage with elements of Western modern art and contemporary aesthetic sensibilities. Known as a “milestone figure in contemporary Chinese ink painting,” Feng is a prominent representative of modern artists who uphold the freehand style in Chinese painting.

Deng Di, Chairman of Taiyi Group and investor in MINAX Global Brand Exchange, remarked: “Through blockchain technology, Feng Zhongyun’s personal brand can reach the global blockchain world, connecting with art lovers, investors, and collectors worldwide. This is a groundbreaking initiative.”

At the launch event, other distinguished guests, including Yang Jianhua, Chairman of the Asian Art Film Festival Committee, and Liu Jiahua, Director of the Central Securities Depository Corporation, delivered speeches and participated in the bell-ringing ceremony.

Artistic creation often takes decades of development and refinement to reach its peak, while collecting artwork requires significant financial resources and patience to realize returns. However, when an artist’s personal brand is transformed into an investable digital asset, art enthusiasts and the general public can also become investors in the artist’s brand. This approach enables the global capital market to recognize the value of an artist’s personal brand, providing better conditions for artistic creation and encouraging more artists to adhere to their artistic visions with long-term dedication.

By leveraging personal art brand listings, Macao-based artists can not only elevate their international visibility but also open new avenues for Macao’s cultural exchanges with the world.
