In a new statement from the company, it was stated that it received a joint investment from Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), the world’s second largest financial group, and Animoca Brands.
Animoca Brand KK Investment Will Also Use For NFT Adoption
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) and Animoca Brands have each invested $22.5 million, according to a press release following Animoca Brand KK’s $45 million investment for NFT. For Animoca Brands Japan, both companies valued $500 million in the first place.
Animoca Brands Japan said the new capital will be used to invest in popular NFTs, develop the company, promote NFT adoption and build a network for NFTs.
