Together with his entrepreneur brother, the Singapore actor started the blockchain gaming company Freedom Nation – and joked that wife Kate Pang now approves of his lifelong hobby playing online games.

The metaverse is proving very useful for Andie Chen. A year ago, the actor relocated his family to Taiwan in search of career prospects. But within six months, he had run out of funds, to the point where he was borrowing money from his parents.

A friend introduced him to Axie Infinity, a game at the forefront of the trending"play to earn" movement that melds blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens with online gaming. In three months, he claimed, they have generated S$500,000 of value, based on the value of SLP at average market price, and they are on track to hit a million dollars in the next three months. He values the company at S$12 million.
