Animoca Brands has made a strategic investment in Ava Labs and formed a partnership to accelerate projects building on the Avalanche blockchain. The collaboration targets sectors including real-world assets, digital identity and entertainment, with Animoca offering advisory support and access to regional networks across Asia and the Middle East.
The initiative aims to connect developers with capital and distribution channels, particularly for tokenized assets and identity systems targeting institutional and government-backed deployments. Projects may also draw on Animoca’s portfolio of more than 600 blockchain companies.
Neither party disclosed the investment amount or identified specific projects set to receive funding. Animoca secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority in February, supporting its regional expansion. Ava Labs serves as a core contributor to Avalanche, a layer-1 blockchain whose native token AVAX is used for transactions, staking and network security.
