NEW YORK, Nov 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - In the rapidly evolving world of crypto, a new player has emerged: Academic Labs, a pioneering crypto platform that has achieved a $300 million valuation at its initial coin listing (ICO).
The timing AAX's initial coin offering (ICO) on November 11 (1111- a lucky outstanding number) is impeccable. Kingston Kwek, founder of AAX, one of the pioneer cryptocurrency entrepreneurs from Singapore, the journey from 0 to $300 million is an impressive start, but it's just the beginning of a multi year long expansion. On the benchmark entry price at $300 million market capitalization, the target market cap will be at least a $500-900 million- if the bull of 2025 is big.
AAX as the Token Symbol
Just before the platform's official launch in January 2024, Kwek made a bold move to rebrand the native token from $ACAD to $AAX – representing Achieve, Accomplish, Web3 (X). Following the rebranding, Academic Labs onboarded an additional 20,000 users and 3,000 daily active learners in its first week, and growing to 100,000 community members by April, and 250,000 community members today.
As the crypto market regained momentum in October, Kwek launched Wealth Academy, a trading education platform designed to enhance the utility of $AAX and expand the Academic Labs ecosystem. Following AAX's listing in November, Kwek announced partnerships with notable GameFi and SocialFi ecosystems, paving the way for a more engaging and community-driven future.
What's Next in the Future
Listing on Korean exchanges will be a key priority for Aax going forward, as that will immediate ramp up the trading volumes. The plan will to first ramp up Aax's presence among the crypto communities in Korea through marketing efforts for it to first to list on the mid-tier Korean exchanges, followed by Upbit or Bithumb the bigger exchanges.
