A real world masterpiece found a fractionalized home on ApeChain, and you're invited to ape in and own a piece of it!
Many Apes and $Apes have digital collections of high-end NFTs worth tens,if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars, but few of us have any exposure to traditional art. But that all changed on Tuesday when Animoca Brands and Binance backed LiveArt, a new crypto marketplace bringing real world masterpieces on-chain and tokenizing ownership, launched the ApeChain Art Vault and filled it with none other than “Balloon Dog (Blue)” by Jeff Koons!
“The @ApeChainHUB Art Vault is live,” the project posted. “The 1st RWA in this vault is "Ballon Dog (Blue)" a verified physical sculpture edition by legendary artist Jeff Koons Own real art + unlock thousands in $ARTrewards. Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog is widely regarded as one of the most iconic sculptures of the 21st century and one of Koon's most famos motifs • It redefined the boundaries of high art, turning a playful childhood symbol into a monumental piece valued at tens of millions of dollars • A version of the Balloon Dog (Orange) previously sold for over $58 million at Christie’s, setting a record for the most expensive work sold at auction by a living artist at the time.”
For the next week, anyone in the $Ape ecosystem can purchase a fractionalized piece of Balloon Dog (Blue) for $10.49 USD to $8.74 USD worth of $Ape, depending on how many they buy.
Additionally, those who purchase their fractionalized piece tonight may unlock bonus perks and the chance to win even more pieces of Balloon Dog!
Looking ahead, LiveArt has big plans to bring more real world masterpieces to Web3 collectors.
"This is a $10-trillion asset class, one of the largest and best-performing in the world, and LiveArt is unlocking its liquidity through its cutting-edge blockchain and AI platform,” the project explained in its Whitepaper. “For years, elite investment firms and insiders have had exclusive access to the best opportunities. High-value assets—like fine art, luxury watches, rare wines, and classic cars—have been difficult to access, trade, and accurately price. Market insights were hidden behind expensive reports and closed networks, keeping everyday investors out. LiveArt tears down these barriers, bringing AI-driven discovery, transparent pricing, and onchain liquidity to everyday investors.”
LiveArt will be hosting an AMA Space with the ApeChain community this Thursday at 10 A.M. EST. Set your reminder and tune in to learn more about this RWA launch on ApeChain below:
