Tokenize Xchange has announced a strategic investment from Animoca Brands for its Titan Chain mainnet, enhancing its blockchain infrastructure and market reach.
Tokenize Xchange, a prominent digital asset exchange in Southeast Asia, has announced a strategic investment in its mainnet, Titan Chain, from Animoca Brands, a global leader in digital entertainment, blockchain, and gamification. The partnership will see Animoca Brands supporting Tokenize through market-making, node validation, and exploring listing opportunities for Tokenize’s TKX token, according to Animoca Brands.
Strategic Partnership and Investment
The investment and partnership between Tokenize and Animoca Brands are expected to significantly enhance the Tokenize ecosystem by bolstering its blockchain infrastructure and expanding its reach into high-growth markets. This development follows Tokenize’s recent US$11.5 million Series A phase 2 funding round and the appointment of a new Chief Strategy Officer earlier this year.
Animoca Brands will invest an undisclosed amount in TKX, the native token of Tokenize, which serves as the primary medium for gas fees within the Titan Chain ecosystem. The partnership will also facilitate Tokenize’s community growth by leveraging Animoca Brands' extensive Web3 portfolio, which includes over 540 investments, and its vast network of blockchain enthusiasts and gamers.
Enhancing Blockchain Infrastructure
Tokenize CEO and Founder, Hong Qi Yu, emphasized the significance of this investment, stating, “This investment from Animoca Brands into Titan Chain marks a pivotal moment for the entire Tokenize ecosystem. By leveraging Animoca Brands’ expertise in blockchain gaming and digital assets alongside our robust infrastructure, we’re poised to deliver unprecedented value to our users.”
Yat Siu, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, shared his excitement about the collaboration, adding, “We are excited to invest in Titan Chain and collaborate with Tokenize Xchange, whose vision aligns closely with our mission to advance digital property rights and foster an open metaverse.”
Implications for the Future
The partnership is set to enhance liquidity for TKX and other ecosystem tokens, improving the overall trading experience for Tokenize’s users. Additionally, it will enable the development of new blockchain-integrated products, particularly in gaming and digital collectibles. Animoca Brands’ role as the lead validator for Titan Chain will strengthen the security and efficiency of Tokenize’s operations.
Titan Chain, built on the Cosmos SDK, offers full EVM compatibility and seamless Ethereum interoperability. It addresses high transaction fees, scalability issues, and limited interoperability prevalent in existing networks.
Tokenize Xchange operates under regulatory exemptions from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and holds a full Digital Asset Exchange license from the Securities Commission Malaysia. The investment from Animoca Brands further cements Tokenize’s commitment to providing secure, compliant, and cutting-edge digital asset services.
As the blockchain market is projected to reach $1,431.54 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research, the partnership signals Tokenize’s readiness to capture a significant share of this growth, particularly in the realms of gaming, digital collectibles, and decentralized finance.
