The venture capital and accelerator division of the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume is spearheading an investment in a new blockchain gaming token.
In a recent announcement, Binance Labs revealed that it led the investment round for the GameFi publishing platform, Pluto Studio. Pluto Studio’s initial project, Catizen, was launched on the Telegram TON blockchain.
Catizen integrates seamlessly with Telegram, leveraging its extensive user base to enhance visibility in the Web3 space. The game aims to introduce Web3 to a wider audience through engaging mini-games and mobile payment options.
The announcement highlighted that Catizen has already amassed over 25 million registered players, with 1.5 million active on the blockchain.
Pluto Studios plans to use the investment to further develop their product. Co-founder Ricky Wong stated, “This investment validates our vision and boosts our confidence in building the infrastructure needed for the next wave of Web3 entertainment. With Binance Labs’ support, we aim to elevate Catizen and bring more innovative solutions to the Telegram and TON ecosystems.”
A new Avalanche-backed project, Fusion, is rethinking how blockchain meets business needs.
Microsoft is deepening its push into Web3 by teaming up with blockchain analytics firm Space and Time (SXT), bringing real-time crypto data to its AI-driven Fabric platform.
The hype around blockchain gaming has taken a noticeable dip, but industry insiders suggest the lull may signal something positive: maturation.
Central banks are beginning to explore how programmable blockchain tools could reshape the execution of monetary policy.
