Animoca Brands Backs Astar in Strategic Play to Expand Sony’s Blockchain Ecosystem
Web3 giant Animoca Brands makes a strategic investment in Astar Network—the blockchain darling of Sony’s startup accelerator. This move signals growing institutional confidence in Japan’s Web3 infrastructure.
Why it matters: Astar’s connection to Sony gives it rare corporate legitimacy in a space still haunted by FTX ghosts. Animoca’s bet suggests big players see real-world enterprise adoption coming soon—or they’re just hedging against another boring quarter in traditional markets.
