APENFT holds unique insights into the development of the NFT markets with a long-term commitment to collecting and managing artworks and crypto collectibles. Building a pragmatic and inclusive NFT platform that engages with the larger community has always been an integral part of APENFT’s roadmap. The launch of the APENFT Marketplace Testnet is one step closer to fulfilling this mission.
To build a more inclusive and dynamic TRON NFT ecosystem and attract high-quality projects, APENFT Marketplace is establishing a $2 million prize pool for an exciting “sprint race” for all developers. This APENFT Marketplace Testnet Developer Sprint is among the many perks announced for the Testnet launch.
The Developer Sprint will adopt a multi-stage task-completion model. During the Testnet phase, APENFT Marketplace will assess all participating projects from five different angles: project quality, community & social media building, smart contract deployment, website construction, and trial feedback. Every participating project will have a chance to win from the total prize pool.
After the Testnet phase, all qualified projects will be able to migrate to the Mainnet and receive development subsidies from the platform, and there will be more support programs planned out following the Mainnet launch.
In addition to providing support to excellent developers, APENFT will also reward active and premium users from the TRON ecosystem. All qualified users will receive a Genesis NFT badge, which grants them whitelist status for any future NFT drops.
APENFT will select 50 Genesis NFT badge holders who have participated in the Testnet and provided valuable feedback to the platform to receive a reward. APENFT will also select 100 non-badge holders providing valuable feedback to receive a reward. In general, all Testnet participants are encouraged to submit their comments or suggestions. APENFT welcomes all NFT developers and supporters to participate in the trial run. All community voices are highly valued and the platform will reward another 150 lucky users via random draws from all Testnet participants.
After the Testnet phase, APENFT and TRON DAO will be co-hosting an official virtual launch event for the APENFT Marketplace on YouTube and DLive Protocol, where H.E. Justin Sun will introduce all major features of and bonuses offered by the APENFT Marketplace. This launch event has also received strong support from Cryptovoxels, a renowned decentralized virtual world. The event, which is the first metaverse-themed livestream in the TRON ecosystem, will be going out live at TRON DAO’s headquarters on the Cryptovoxels site. This also marks H.E. Justin Sun’s debut livestream in the metaverse. All are invited!

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – May 28, 2025 (Angermayer, Soneium, ASIC, Guo, DMG)
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies continue to evolve at breakneck speed, driving new partnerships, regulatory battles, service launches, and environmental innovations. Today’s briefing highlights five pivotal developments:
-
Christian Angermayer’s investment in Uranium Digital, signaling a shift toward tokenized commodities.
-
Sony’s Soneium launch, embedding Web3 into entertainment via a layer-2 blockchain.
-
ASIC’s lawsuit against a former Blockchain Global exec, underscoring regulatory scrutiny over exchange failures.
-
Cointelegraph’s coverage of civil proceedings against Liang “Allan” Guo, reinforcing Australia’s hard line on director accountability.
-
DMG Blockchain’s carbon-neutral Bitcoin transactions, blending green initiatives with custody services.
We’ll unpack each story with concise coverage, opinion-driven commentary, and “Source” attributions—arming you with context and SEO-rich keywords like blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, DeFi, and NFTs.
1. Christian Angermayer Backs Uranium Digital’s Tokenized Commodities
Summary: Christian Angermayer, the German biotech billionaire and prominent crypto investor, has joined Uranium Digital as a strategic investor and advisor—aiming to bring uranium trading onto blockchain rails and open commodities markets to tokenized liquidity .
Analysis & Commentary:
Angermayer’s move represents a pivotal moment for asset tokenization, blending commodity markets with DeFi liquidity. By leveraging blockchain’s transparency and fractional ownership, Uranium Digital could democratize access to a market historically reserved for large institutional players. However, regulatory frameworks for nuclear materials are stringent—navigating cross-border compliance will be as critical as the technical on-chain architecture. This partnership may set a precedent for other “hard asset” tokenization ventures seeking both capital and credibility.

2. Sony’s Soneium: A Layer-2 Web3 Revolution for Entertainment
Summary: Sony’s new layer-2 blockchain, Soneium, launched in January 2025 to facilitate fast, low-cost transactions for gaming, NFTs, and creator economies. Built on Ethereum’s OP Stack, it has processed over 70 million transactions and hosts 62 dApps, including partnerships with Bandai Namco and Gaudiy.
Analysis & Commentary:
With Soneium, Sony is not just experimenting with blockchain; it’s reimagining digital ownership in entertainment. By targeting high-volume use cases—gaming items, fan tokens, event ticketing—Sony leverages its brand authority to accelerate Web3 adoption. Yet mainstream uptake hinges on seamless user experiences: integrated wallets, intuitive NFT management, and clear value for collectors. If Sony can mask blockchain’s complexity behind familiar interfaces, Soneium could become the template for corporate-led Web3 platforms.

3. ASIC Sues Former Blockchain Global Exec Over $20M in Claims
Summary: The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) filed civil proceedings against former Blockchain Global director Liang “Allan” Guo for allegedly misusing over A$20 million of ACX Exchange customer funds and breaching directors’ duties.
Analysis & Commentary:
This lawsuit highlights the regulatory imperative to protect retail crypto investors. As exchanges fail, the lack of segregated custodial accounts leaves users exposed to directors’ mismanagement. ASIC’s aggressive stance sends a clear signal: exchange governance and financial controls are non-negotiable. Blockchain firms must prioritize transparent accounting, regular audits, and robust compliance frameworks—or risk severe legal consequences.

4. Australian Regulator Takes Guo to Court: Cointelegraph’s Perspective
Summary: Cointelegraph reports ASIC’s civil case against Allan Guo, focusing on alleged false statements and improper fund co-mingling at ACX Exchange, which left over A$22.7 million in creditor claims.
Analysis & Commentary:
Cointelegraph’s coverage underscores a broader trend: jurisdictional enforcement is catching up with crypto’s borderless nature. By spotlighting both Guo’s departure from Australia and the court’s pursuit, the story reinforces that geographical escape won’t shield executives from liability. Going forward, global crypto platforms must embed compliance in governance structures rather than treating it as an afterthought.

5. DMG Blockchain Enables Carbon-Neutral Bitcoin Transactions
Summary: DMG Blockchain Solutions, via its subsidiary Systemic Trust Company and Terra Pool, now offers regulatory-compliant, carbon-neutral Bitcoin transactions using Fireblocks custody infrastructure and green energy-backed mining pools.
Analysis & Commentary:
By integrating carbon-neutral protocols into custody and settlement, DMG addresses the sustainability critique of Bitcoin. Financial institutions increasingly demand ESG-aligned crypto services; DMG’s offering could capture that market. The challenge lies in quantifying and auditing green claims, ensuring the offset mechanisms are transparent and verifiable. If DMG nails this, carbon-neutral Bitcoin may shift from niche demand to mainstream expectation.
