Tatler’s 30 for 3.0 is a new campaign celebrating the city’s top talents in NFTs, crypto and Web3. Take a look at these trailblazers and their achievements below
We profile the biggest Web3 game-changers in Hong Kong today, from Animoca boss Yat Siu and mega-collector WhaleShark to actor Louis Koo, who produced a multimillion-dollar NFT-linked film. Other Web3 trailblazers delve into art, luxury and fashion by coming up with VR and AR experiences at Digital Art Fair, virtual shopping experiences, a jewellery boutique and VIP parties in the metaverse—all redefining the way we live. There are also those who intend to keep the brave new world a safe space by offering legal, real estate, crypto and fintech advice, and those who set out to educate more people about Web3.
