ASX Sells Out Second NFT Collection: Lords Community Expands

On August 25th, 2025, ASX fully sold-out its second collection of RWA-backed NFTs. This constitutes the second time in the space of less than two months that the project has minted-out an NFT collection, and at a time when the NFT markets seem otherwise cold. 

The collection of yield-bearing NFTs, which are backed by an investment into the Franklin Jefferson Candlelight Apartments, in Warrensburg, Missouri, are expected to yield a full 8.5% APY based on mint prices.

Said collection was minted on the CORE blockchain and the process took place exclusively on the Blockz NFT platform - ASX’s official mint partner. The ‘FJC’ NFTs, as they are being dubbed, are now live for trading on Blockz, with a floor price of 38 $CORE at time of writing.

ASX’ NFT Success: The Story so Far

ASX’ first NFT collection was minted out in late June, 2025. 3,000 NFTs, backed by an investment into the Mountain View Apartment Complex in Arkansas, were swept up less than one hour into the mint’s public round. One month later, the Mountain View Apartment NFTs made their first on-chain yield distribution.

The success of that initial mint gave ASX precisely the momentum it needed and the project was quick to capitalize.

This latest collection was some 2,000 NFTs larger than the first, reflecting a well-placed confidence in the growing ASX community. The mint saw ASX raise some $50,000 which, combined with the $30,000 from the previous raise, means the project has accrued some $80,000 from NFT sales in less than two months.

It is also worth noting that ASX’ second mint saw much more support from its host ecosystem, Core. This was reflected in supportive social media posts during the mint itself, perhaps symptomatic of ASX’ rapidly-increasing importance within the CORE ecosystem, which is ultimately a layer-1 blockchain competing in the busy L1 blockchain landscape.

Even more significant, however, was Core Ventures’ investment into the collection, as announced on August 19th. Supported by the Core Foundation, Core Ventures commitment at this early stage could be an indicator of even greater things to come.

A Big Day for Blockz…

Though certainly an exciting period for ASX and its followers, the mint process for the FJC NFTs was perhaps even more memorable for the Blockz platform - The Core ecosystem’s very first NFT marketplace.

This is because Blockz’ platform actually launched alongside ASX’ new collection, on August 21st. 

The platform is now live in beta, according to its website, with core functionality enabled.

At time of writing, it appears only four collections are currently trading:

• ASX’ Mountain View Apartment NFTs.
• ASX’ Franklin Jefferson Candlelight Apartment NFTs.
• The famous ‘Coretoshis’.
• A collaborative series between Superchief and Doopiidoo. 

The ‘Lords’ Community Expands

ASX NFTs, despite having tangible utility, still feature a powerful community element.

Given the real estate-backed nature of ASX’ NFTs, holders of the collections have taken to calling themselves ‘Lords’ (short for ‘Landlords’).

This recent mint was a significant event for existing Lords…

Firstly, Lords from ASX’ first collection were major beneficiaries when it came to this latest mint. They were the first to gain access to the mint after ASX’ partners and also saw no cap on the number of FJC apartment NFTs they were able to mint.

Secondly, this preferential treatment likely confirmed in the minds of Lords that ASX is a crypto project that is loyal to its community. This special access now seems like something that will continue into the future and, combined with access to an exclusive Discord server, the benefits of being a Lord are now clearer than ever. 

Two Sell-Out Mints: What Next?

As of yet, ASX has made no formal announcements as to what the project has in the pipeline next.

However, this is unlikely to stop speculation amongst its community and an even bigger NFT collection some time in the near future does not seem out of the question.

One thing is for certain, however, ASX now has significant momentum and mindshare within the CORE and NFT ecosystems, but how the project will capitalise on this remains in question. That said, the project’s growing track record of rapid development points to an announcement in the not-so-distant future…
