GMoca! Every month, we’re one step closer to achieving complete data ownership and empowering people with true digital property rights.
The results are clear across the ecosystem.
Our portfolio keeps expanding.
Projects are shipping every week.
New tools and partnerships are showing how digital property rights work in practice.
One example is the debut of Nuva, our platform built with Provenance Blockchain Labs. It helps more users access real-world assets through on-chain finance. The goal is simple: to give everyone, everywhere, fair access to financial freedom.
Exciting, right?
Here are some more exciting developments that are worth celebrating this month:
Animoca Brands plans NASDAQ listing through a reverse merger
Moca Network launches AIR Shop with SK Planet
Anichess launches $CHECK, a token that is designed to power the Checkmate Ecosystem
Open Campus raises $5 million in strategic funding
Let's have a closer look at what happened 👇
Subscribe to the Animoca Brands Monthly Digest for updates across our ecosystem—500+ companies, events, research, and more:
We are excited to share our strategic plan to list Animoca Brands on Nasdaq via a proposal for a reverse merger with Currenc Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CURR), a pioneering fintech company.
Under the proposed structure, upon completion of the reverse merger the shareholders of Animoca Brands would collectively own approximately 95% of the issued shares in the merged entity, which is expected to operate under the Animoca Brands name.
Read the official press release.

Moca Network launched AIR Shop together with SK Planet and Spree Finance to bring verified rewards to everyday shopping. The platform uses AIR Identity so users can earn while keeping their data private:
AIR Shop connects 29M users and 95,000 merchants across SK Planet’s network
Users can earn up to 31% back on purchases based on their membership tier
The first campaign gives verified users the chance to win prizes, including airline tickets and concert passes
Higher tiers unlock better rewards through AIR SP, a stablecoin-backed points system
Visit air.shop and explore how verified loyalty works in real life!

Anichess, developed by Animoca Brands and Chess.com, introduced $CHECK, the strategy token for the Checkmate Ecosystem. The token has a fixed supply of one billion, with 59% set aside for community and ecosystem growth. How $CHECK works:
$CHECK supports ranked matches, tournaments, and staking for Mate Points (M8) in Anichess
It connects play, creation, and learning across future strategy-based titles
The team plans to launch $CHECK in Q4 2025, subject to final confirmation
Read the litepaper to learn how $CHECK helps power the Anichess ecosystem.

Open Campus closed a $5 million strategic funding round led by Animoca Brands with participation from global partners. The funding will help expand the EDU ecosystem and make learning tools more accessible.
Funds will support new products for teachers and students
Partnerships will help bring more educational content on-chain
Development will focus on token-based incentives that reward learning
For a closer look at what Open Campus has been building, read their October In Review.

Until next time!
