ASOBI Coin (ABX) Overview
ASOBI Coin (ASOBI COIN), with the ticker symbol ABX, is a cryptocurrency launched in 2018 by the Japanese game development company ASOBIMO, Inc.It was designed as a utility token for the ASOBI MARKET (also known as ASOBI STORE) platform, which aims to build a decentralized secondary marketplace for digital content.
Project Vision and Core Mechanism
The core vision of ASOBI MARKET is to address long-standing issues in the digital content sector, including the ease with which content can be copied, the difficulty publishers face in profiting from secondary transactions, and the risk that users may lose ownership of their digital content after a service shuts down.To achieve this goal, the platform employs a “Decentralized Security System” (DSS) and blockchain technology, designed to provide the following features:
- Tamper-proof Proof of Ownership: Through blockchain technology, the platform ensures the uniqueness of digital content and the tamper-proof nature of ownership records, thereby effectively preventing piracy.
- Secure and Transparent Transactions: Provides users with a secure environment for reselling and purchasing various types of digital content, including in-game items, software, e-books, music, videos, and e-tickets.
- Revenue Sharing for Publishers: The platform is designed to allow publishers to continue earning revenue from the resale of digital content, transforming the traditional model where publishers profit only from the initial sale.
The ASOBI WALLET is designed to store ASOBI tokens and facilitate the buying and selling of digital content on ASOBI MARKET. Additionally, ASOBIMO previously partnered with SWITEX GmbH to develop the NAGA Virtual platform, which serves as the in-game item trading module for ASOBI MARKET.
History and Token Economics
The ASOBI Coin white paper was released on April 26, 2018, and the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) was conducted later that same year. The token is an ERC-20 token with a total supply set at 16,500,000,000 ABX.During the ICO, the initial price ranged from approximately $0.009 to $0.01, and a soft cap of 550 million yen (approximately $5 million) was set, which was successfully reached.Regarding token allocation, 50% was allocated for sales, 20% was allocated to the team and advisors (subject to a lock-up period), 10% was set aside for bounties, 10% was allocated for an airdrop to ASOBIMO game users, and another 10% was set aside as a reserve.
ASOBIMO itself has over 15 years of experience in online game development and had previously planned to develop a AAA-tier 3D MMORPG with a budget of 15 billion yen for global release; this game will support the use of ASOBI Coin.
Current Market Conditions
Although ASOBI Coin presented an ambitious vision in 2018, as of the time of publication on July 27, 2026, public data shows that ASOBI Coin (ABX) has been extremely inactive in the market.According to data sources such as CoinStats, its price is listed as $0, its real-time market capitalization is zero, and its 24-hour trading volume is negligible. This indicates that the token currently has virtually no market liquidity, and its originally envisioned secondary market ecosystem for digital content may not have developed as expected.
