Platon: To create a new digital civilization by Protecting CryptoArts
CryptoArts, a new favorite in the digital age
Recently, a NFT painting of digital artist Beeple was sold for $69.34 million, setting a record price for cryptoart. Earlier, Dorsey, the CEO of twitter, transferred his first tweet as a NFT, with the price of about $2.9 million. The birth of these high-priced works of art has pushed the cryptoart into the artistic field，which has been changing people’s traditional cognition and empirical judgement of art. So what is NFT? Is NFT valuable?
NFT (non-homogeneous token) is also a kind of cryptocurrency asset, which relying on the blockchain network behind it. The holding information of these assets can be recorded in the blockchain. Different from bitcoin and Ethereum, each NFT is unique, so it is not for exchange, like basic commodity purchase or other basic transactions money. However, because of that NFT assets can’t be copied, works of art or collections can be transferred on the blockchain network as the unique cryptocurrency asset. For example, if you successfully register as a password artist on the NFT trading platform, your uploaded works of art can also become a NFT asset. The process of becoming a NFT can be regarded as “coinage”, and then by aggregating into blocks to become the unique token asset on the blockchain.
All along, the biggest attribute of art is uniqueness and irreplaceable, which coincides with the essence of NFT. In the traditional art market, artworks are repeatedly sold at high prices, which is unmatched by any other industry. At present, cryptoart is the most powerful growth area in the digital collection market.
Perfect combination of encryption technology and artistic value
Although NFT assets are unique and irreplaceable, and can exist in different forms and contents, their essence is still token. Token itself has no intrinsic value. Only when it is placed on the value system of the real world, can it be endowed with specific meanings.
When we buy a NFT, it actually means that we buy a “digital certificate” representing the ownership and authenticity, that is, we get a unique password generated by blockchain technology. For example, if you buy a painting in the art field, what others see is only a copy of the digital picture, while the buyer has the only original copy of the whole network. This work has been authenticated by blockchain technology, and has a digital signature that cannot be copied, so that buyers can confirm the uniqueness of their collection. The underlying logic is the consensus mechanism based on the network computing power of blockchain. For the cryptoart, this network flow based consensus is important. Through effective mechanisms to improve consensus, let more people know about the works, and by exposure and auction, or artists’ appearance on public media, can achieve “value-capture”, thus increasing the collection value and transaction price of works.
In this process, encryption and privacy protection technology play a key role. For a cryptoart, the owner should have both the ownership and the right to use. Currently, we only protects the ownership, but fails to protect the right to use. If the owner of a work puts a cryptoart on display in the gallery, the owner can get a share of the income from the exhibition, and only with the authorization of the owner, can the art work be fully displayed. Only in this way can the right to use of cryptoart be more effectively protected, which is what PlatOn’s privacy computing has been working for.
The privacy token contract of PlatOn can achieve the purpose of hiding identity through zero knowledge proof algorithm. Zero knowledge proof is to make the verifier believe that one has some knowledge or ability without providing any useful information to others, so as to protect the cryptoart. In addition, digital assets need to be taxed in the future, which also involves the trade of ownership. Token’s Rosetta privacy AI framework improves the efficiency of MPC (multi-party secure computing) and provides strong support for digital asset trading.
Platon’s Alaya scheme, Protecting the cryptoart
As a global blockchain leader, PlatOn, with its rich experience in the field of privacy protection, can help the digital identification and asset digitization of traditional works of art and even real estate, and help traditional assets become indelible and unchangeable . PlatOn launched the meta network Alaya scheme on October 24 last year. The scheme is based on distributed storage system, with globally distributed nodes, and is linked in the form of NFT. It supports the subsequent change of ownership of digital assets through cooperative transfer, so as to protect cryptoart and built a new digital civilization.
In addition, in the main network release of PlatOn is launched in last month, NFT transfer is also used for voting on the chain, and NFT badges in the main network community will be sent to all voting participants. It can be seen that PlatOn’s exploration on NFT privacy protection has been in the field including the cryptoart, community souvenirs, voting and so on, which will light the dawn of new digital civilization.

apanese Anime Captures 60% of Asian Entertainment Revenue While K-Pop’s 150M Global Fans Dominate Music Charts
According to JapanNews.info, the Asia-Pacific region generated more than 60% of the global anime market’s $34.3 billion in revenue during 2024. Meanwhile, K-Pop continues its extraordinary global reach, with the genre accounting for approximately 2% of the world’s population as dedicated fans.
Many Asian growing up in Japanese anime and manga, and nowadays a striking divide in Asian entertainment dominance, with Japanese anime commanding over 60% of entertainment revenue across Asia-Pacific while K-Pop maintains its global music supremacy with an estimated 150 million fans worldwide.
According to comprehensive industry data compiled by Japan News Info and PR News Releaser, the Asia-Pacific region generated more than 60% of the global anime market’s $34.3 billion in revenue during 2024, driven by streaming platform expansion, merchandise sales, and cross-media adaptations. Meanwhile, K-Pop continues its extraordinary global reach, with the genre accounting for approximately 2% of the world’s population as dedicated fans.
Anime’s Regional Dominance
The anime industry’s stronghold in Asia reflects decades of cultural integration and recent digital transformation. Market research indicates Asia-Pacific held between 38.7% to 62.7% of global anime market share in 2024, with total regional revenue projected to reach $18.1 billion by 2030.
“Asia-Pacific dominated the anime market with the largest revenue share in 2024, driven by increasing consumption of digital content and the popularity of streaming services,” according to industry analysts. Japan remains the production epicenter, while China, South Korea, and Southeast Asian nations have emerged as major consumption markets.
Streaming platforms have accelerated anime’s accessibility across the region. Netflix expanded its anime catalog to 240 titles in 2024, while specialized platform Crunchyroll tripled its subscriber base from 5 million to over 15 million between 2021 and 2024. Notably, 69% of Gen Z respondents report watching anime content, compared to 57% of millennials.
The merchandising segment represents the largest revenue stream, accounting for approximately 29-32% of total anime market value. Popular franchises like Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, and Jujutsu Kaisen generate substantial revenue through licensed products, games, and cross-media adaptations.
K-Pop’s Global Music Supremacy
While anime dominates Asian entertainment broadly, K-Pop maintains undisputed leadership in the global music industry. Industry estimates place the worldwide K-Pop fanbase at over 150 million individuals as of 2024, with the genre generating over $5.8 billion in annual revenue.
K-Pop’s influence extends far beyond Asia, with major markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Groups like BTS and BLACKPINK have achieved unprecedented international success, with BTS generating over $4.65 billion annually for South Korea’s economy and BLACKPINK’s music videos regularly surpassing one billion views.
Social media has proven instrumental in K-Pop’s global expansion. Over 7.8 billion K-Pop-related tweets were posted worldwide in 2021, representing a 16% increase from the previous year. The genre’s carefully orchestrated fan engagement strategies, multilingual content, and polished visual productions have created dedicated international communities spanning diverse demographics.
Major streaming platforms have recognized K-Pop’s commercial potential, with artists consistently appearing on global charts. BTS’s “Butter” spent 10 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while multiple K-Pop groups have achieved top-10 debuts on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Regional Dynamics and Market Trends
The entertainment landscape reveals distinct consumption patterns across Asia. While K-Pop enjoys strong popularity in Japan—with groups like Stray Kids and TWICE ranking among Japanese teens’ favorite acts—anime maintains broader entertainment market share through its integration with gaming, merchandise, and digital platforms.
Southeast Asian markets show particularly high engagement with both formats. Thailand and Indonesia report anime engagement rates of 59% and 56% respectively, while also hosting substantial K-Pop fanbases with dedicated concert audiences and streaming communities.
Industry experts note the genres serve complementary rather than competing roles. “Young Koreans are now openly consuming Japanese culture, including anime, without the historical stigma,” according to cultural analysts studying cross-border entertainment trends. Similarly, Japanese audiences have embraced K-Pop artists, creating a mutually beneficial cultural exchange.
Future Outlook
Both industries show robust growth trajectories. The global anime market is projected to reach $60-68 billion by 2030-2033, with streaming revenue expected to triple from $3.7 billion to $12.5 billion internationally. Technological innovations including AI-assisted production and virtual reality experiences are expanding creative possibilities.
K-Pop continues aggressive global expansion through strategic partnerships, multilingual releases, and international collaborations. Industry revenue surpassed $10 billion in 2020 and continues growing, with South Korea’s entertainment exports contributing over $5 billion to the national GDP.
The divergent success patterns—anime’s regional entertainment dominance versus K-Pop’s global music leadership—underscore how different content formats achieve international influence through distinct strategies and audience engagement models.

Xepeng focuses on how merchants receive settlements exclusively in Rupiah without digital asset custody.
Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, 2nd Jan 2026 — Xepeng today outlines the merchant outcome on its platform, focusing on how merchants receive settlements exclusively in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) without any requirement for digital asset custody or management at any stage in the transaction lifecycle.
Xepeng’s design separates the initiation instrument, a customer’s digital asset, from the commercial event recorded by the merchant. The platform executes conversion and settlement so merchant cash flow remains bank-native, while Xepeng manages identity verification, risk controls, and conversion mechanics on the backend.
Merchants provide a transaction reference to confirm the commercial purpose. Funds are then transferred directly to the merchant’s bank account in Rupiah, maintaining familiar cash flow patterns. This approach means merchants never hold, store, manage, or account for digital assets at any stage. There is no need for wallets, private keys, or exchange registrations, reducing operational complexity.
The design supports standard practices in Indonesia, where merchants continue with Rupiah-based invoicing, reconciliation, accounting, and tax reporting. By handling all digital mechanics on the backend, Xepeng enables merchants to benefit from expanded international digital payment sources without altering their core operations.
“Merchants should not have to become asset custodians to accept new forms of international value,” said Budi Satrya, CMO of Xepeng. “Our role is to translate global value into clear Rupiah settlements so businesses can focus on service, not custody.”
Indonesia’s financial system prioritizes Rupiah for domestic transactions to promote stability and local circulation. Xepeng’s settlement model aligns with this by ensuring outcomes remain in local currency, supporting economic retention.
As international digital payments evolve, platforms like Xepeng provide merchants with a structured way to access new value streams while staying within established local practices.
