Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong-based game software and venture capital firm with a heavy presence in the digital asset sector, has announced the acquisition of Web3 streaming platform Azarus. The financial details of the deal remained undisclosed, but the move aims to integrate Azarus’ innovative technology into the VC firm’s portfolio.
Conforme um relatório, Azarus seeks to combine its expertise in blockchain-powered game streaming with Animoca Brands’ experience in developing and publishing digital games. The VC firm has invested in multiple Web3 and metaverse firms in the past few years and seeks to establish itself as a clear leader in the sector. The new deal aligns with the firm’s goal of “harnessing Web3 technology to create a player-owned economy in which creators, gamers, and streamers can control their digital property rights,” stated the report.
Yat Siu, the executive chairman of Animoca Brands, stated that “the acquisition of Azarus was a natural business decision that attests to our belief in the transformative power of web3 technology,” while adding:
“Azarus evokes the early days of The Sandbox, with that same energy and upside that makes it such an attractive proposition. Together, we look forward to redefining the streaming landscape, making it more interactive, rewarding, and aligned with the open metaverse,” said Siu.
É importante notar aqui que a Azarus está trabalhando para fornecer aos criadores novas fontes de receita, incentivar seus seguidores e também recompensar seu público. Além disso, os espectadores têm autoridade para direcionar receitas para seus criadores favoritos, liberando-os para produzir conteúdo excepcional. Os jogadores podem transmitir facilmente seu jogo e ganhar recompensas em tokens baseados em blockchain.
Além disso, outros investidores na Azarus incluem Kleiner Perkins, uma empresa americana de capital de risco especializada em investimentos em incubação, e Galaxy Digital, o empreendimento criptográfico liderado pelo bilionário norte-americano Mike Novogratz.
Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, a Animoca Brands planejava arrecadar quase $1 bilhão no primeiro trimestre deste ano, apesar da queda na indústria e do declínio do interesse nos setores de jogos Web3 e DeFi. A empresa reafirmou seus esforços para investir pesadamente na Web3 e no metaverso.
