Toronto Award Winning Entrepreneur Launches 1st NFT eSport Game in Canada
Reigning from the Schulich School of Business, York University, young CEO Jimmy Chan is known for founding Odyssey 3D (O3D) – a real estate virtual reality and 3D modelling company ranked top 1% globally and first of its class in Toronto, Canada. He is about to launch his next venture: a combination of Blockchain NFT, Horse Racing, and Real Estate, creating a universe called Oly Sport Metaverse.
After winning the first prize at the Schulich Start Up Night pitch competition in 2016, O3D immediately attracted a large following of clients across the Greater Toronto Area, gained client trust, and quickly became a leading company in virtual real estate marketing in Ontario. However, Jimmy Chan’s ultimate goal is to benefit humanity at a global scale and place Canada as the centre hub of innovation.
Earlier this year, Jimmy Chan – former CEO of O3D officially handed over the company management rights to his two close friends and co-founders. In the article “Farewell from CEO of Odyssey 3D”, Jimmy shared that he will continue to support O3D but this young entrepreneur already has new plans and is ready to start his new journey.
The Covid – 19 pandemic also affected many people around the world. Being an innovative person, Jimmy soon realized this, and he took steps to achieve his dream, connecting people and creating opportunities for everyone to earn money.
He believes that after the Covid-19 pandemic, “The world we used to live in will no longer exist. We are stepping very quickly into a new world where blockchain technology will change the way people live, work and entertain”. Jimmy sees a huge opportunity to remove barriers and create an easier way for us to own real estate and entertain ourselves with games like hockey, soccer, horse racing no matter where we are in the world.
Jimmy’s vision is to unite financial markets; democratize, decentralize, and globalize real estate ownership; and allow investors to make a living earning blockchain backed tokens. The blockchain platform is chosen to help him realize his vision through a project called Oly Sport Metaverse.
Unlike Play To Earn games, Jimmy’s game is Race to Earn. People who want to have fun can enter the game without any fees; investors who want to make money playing can own precious thoroughbred horses at only 1/200 the actual price in real life. Through the NFT platform, every horse, item and accessory is unique. Every task like breeding, racing, taking care of horses is part of the tokenomics that creates jobs and allows players to earn. Unlike trending games or gambling, Jimmy’s Oly Sport focuses on organizing tournaments which will soon be the standard for eSport horse racing. As gambling is not legally and culturally accepted in a lot of countries, with this strategy, Oly Sport can reach all countries without legal barriers, similar to organizing a global football, hockey, tennis tournament.
Jimmy also added that his racecourses will be built on farms, or actual racecourses, which will be digitized applying blockchain technology. In the near future, players who own a part of the racecourse in the game will actually own part of the land in real life. That means the player who is a shareholder of an in-game racecourse, also is a shareholder of a real-life farm or racecourse. He is confident that you cannot find this type of Metaverse in any game other than Oly Sport at the moment.
Through this project, Oly Sport wants to contribute to Toronto’s blockchain ecosystem and inspire young entrepreneurs to follow their dreams.
Jimmy shared that Oly Sport will officially go IDO on November 2 on BSCStation. For this event, the fixed price of $OLY is $0.06 per token exclusively for BSCStation token holders. The total allocation amount of $OLY tokens will be announced later.

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.
