<p>The capital will be used to advance its project including product development, while facilitating Web3 adoption, and securing partnerships. This funding also expands the gaming, culture, and entertainment ecosystem of Animoca Brands’ portfolio of nearly 450 investments in Web3 companies and projects.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-animoca-brands-funding-update-strong"><strong>Animoca Brands Funding Update</strong></h2> 
<p>On September 11, 2023, Animoca Brands announced it had “received binding commitments for a funding round to accelerate Mocaverse. As the firm noted, it is one of its “marquee projects.”</p> 
<p>The funding update by Animoca Brands states that it raised $20 Million through the issue of new ordinary shares at a price per share of $4.50 or $2.90 as part of the raise. The firm has granted the investors in the round a free-attaching utility token warrant on a 1:1 dollar basis.</p> 
<p>Notably, the funding round was led by CMCC Global, Asia’s first venture capital company, which is focused solely on blockchain and Web3 investments. Meanwhile, the other investors included Kingsway Capital, Liberty City Ventures, GameFi Ventures, Aleksander Larsen (founder of <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2022/09/10/sky-mavis-announces-latest-products-for-axie-infinity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sky Mavis</a>), Gabby Dizon (founder of Yield Guild Games), institutional investors of Koda Capital, and others.</p> 
<p>Yat Siu, the executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands, also participated in the funding round as the firm mentioned in a recent update.</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-the-official-statements-strong"><strong>The Official Statements</strong></h3> 
<p>Yat Siu shared his thoughts as he said: “We are deeply honored by investors’ support for Animoca Brands and its vision of decentralization. The ongoing evolution of the Internet involves a shift from hierarchical power structures to autonomous ones, and the DAO-based approach of Mocaverse ensures that its community will be focused on driving innovation and collaboration across the broader Animoca Brands ecosystem.”</p>
