WISeKey announces that in collaboration with Chinese Finance Museum will mint the world’s first Jiaozi NFT exclusively on WISe. ART
ZUG, Switzerland – October 21, 2022: WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global company in cybersecurity, Blockchain and IoT platforms, today announced that in partnership with the Chinese the financial museum, WISe.ART will mark the world’s first Jiaozi NFT.
A limited edition of Jiaozi NFTs is now available exclusively on the WISe.ART secured NFT marketplace. To enable as many collectors as possible to acquire this piece of history, the owners of Jiaozi decided to keep the price of the NFTs as low as US$100.00 despite the remarkable importance of the physical object. The money collected will be used by the Chinese Finance Museum to strengthen national cultural heritage and the development of public exhibitions and further collections of NFTs for art conservation.
WISe.ART and the Chinese Museum of Finance expanded their collaboration by creating the “MetaFi Museum”, which is both a digital and physical museum.
As the first project in this collaboration, WISe.ART showcases the Jiaozi NFT, the digital twin of the world’s first government-issued paper currency, with elements of modern paper money for circulation management and reserve payment.
The world’s first government-issued paper currency was issued on January 12, 1024 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China by Jiaozi Affairs, the earliest central bank, which operated for more than 400 years. It would be nearly 200 years later that Marco Polo introduced the concept of paper currency to Europe, and another 250 years before Sweden issued modern paper currency in 1661. In addition to the NFT of this Jiaozi, the Chinese Finance Museum is also preparing a second #NFT, the Gong Silver Dollar, minted by the Red Army in 1928. This silver coin is the predecessor of the Chinese People’s Coin and is a collector’s item. China’s creation of paper currency drew on two of their other famous inventions: papermaking and printing. Today, paper currency is a core instrument in the global and national financial systems, while cryptocurrencies and NFT are innovative developments in the history of banknotes. Currently, there are over 1,000 cryptocurrencies in circulation, and new ones appear frequently. The Chinese Finance Museum has promoted the spread of cross-border communication in China and the global financial industry, by setting up Jiaozi exhibition halls and monuments in Chengdu, holding Jiaozi forums, and promoting intangible cultural heritage applications. #Chinanft #nftart #nftcommunity #nftcollector #nftartist #digitalart #crypto #cryptoart #art #ethereum #opensea #nftcollectors #blockchain #nftdrop #nftcollectibles #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #nftcollection #openseanft #cryptoartist #nftartistgal #etlera #nftartwork #artwork #d #artoftheday
