Republic, a global investment platform, announced its plans to tokenize Animoca Brands’ equity on Solana. This will enable global investors to access our ecosystem of 600+ portfolio companies, democratizing ownership and access. Equity will be tokenized on Solana, enabling users to accrue value on-chain. 

Trading will be supported on Republic’s marketplace, which handles both issuance and secondary sales. This move aligns with our vision to empower investors with ownership, providing new ways for users to gain exposure to Animoca Brands.

Our subsidiary GAMEE Token has become one of the most active Web3 gaming platforms, with 119 million registered users and 61 million daily active users on Telegram. 

During TOKEN2049, we signed a non-binding letter of intent with AlphaTON Capital. Under the proposal, AlphaTON will acquire a 51% equity stake in GAMEE and 51% of GMEE and WAT tokens held in GAMEE’s treasury. AlphaTON also intends to buy up to US $3M of GMEE and US $1M of WAT on the open market.

If completed, this will mark a revolutionary shift in how digital asset treasury companies operate.

South Korean data and technology firm SK Planet announced its plans to buy MOCA tokens from the open market and integrate Moca Network’s AIR Account and AIR Identity infrastructure into its platform.

This is a significant step to empower users with digital ownership and one of the largest real-world deployments of decentralized identity so far. SK Planet boasts of 28 million users across its ecosystem, with 95K merchants and counting. The integration of AIR Kit will enable users to transact online with privacy and security, thanks to zero-knowledge proofs and data integrations.

Kenneth Shek, Project Lead of Moca Network, said: “SK Planet’s purchase of MOCA and full adoption of AIR Kit infrastructure is an important milestone in returning data ownership to users. By enabling merchant-side verification with user consent, SK Planet demonstrates how large platforms can apply decentralized identity in real business operations.”

The creator economy is worth over US$250B, but many creators still deal with unstable income, unclear revenue-sharing, and limited financing. Often, they are not rewarded for the value they produce through content and other innovative outlets. With that obstacle in mind, the SANDChain Foundation launched SANDchain, a cutting-edge digital infrastructure designed to tackle these problems.

At a glance, here is how the SANDchain ecosystem will empower creators.

• Accumulated SANDpoints will be used to build loyalty, trust, and reputation

• Creator tokens will let fans support creators directly

• Programmable vaults will be integrated as tools for income management and financing, and made interoperable with YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms. This will enable creators to be paid seamlessly, rewarding them for the value and content they generate.

“SANDchain’s significance is about providing creators with a financial foundation, not just followers. By working with the SANDChain Foundation, we are building ways for creators to access financing, automate income management, and transform audience support into real growth.” - Robby Yung, CEO of The Sandbox.

Until Next Time! Web3 is evolving from concept to real-world utility. It’s exciting to be part of the movement and to see the revolutionary shift. Tokenized equity and digital asset treasuries powering businesses are now a possibility. Measures have also been implemented to provide creators with the support they need to build more impact. What’s next?
