Tokyo, Japan, April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Animoca Brands Japan, a strategic subsidiary of Animoca Brands, today announced an initiative to support the expansion opportunities in Japan of Web3 projects from overseas. As the first step of this initiative, the NFTs “De: Centralized Cat (D:CC)” usable within the blockchain game Nine Chronicles M, currently played in around 150 countries, will be made available for purchase and trade on Coincheck NFT starting on 3 April 2024.
Foreign companies and projects seeking to enter the Japanese Web3 market face several challenges resulting from Japan’s unique laws, business practices, language barrier, and other factors. Japan’s unique entertainment culture, including anime, manga, and games, which are considered to have a high affinity with Web3, have demonstrated strong appeal in the country and present attractive opportunities for overseas companies and projects.
Animoca Brands Japan, established in 2021 as a strategic subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has since its inception supported the global expansion of Japanese IP and content in Web3, and now the Company is also leveraging its capabilities to aid the expansion of international IP within the Japanese market.
In March 2024, Animoca Brands Japan assisted Blowfish Studios to conduct NFT sales for the blockchain game PHANTOM GALAXIES™ on the NFT marketplace αU market. With the initiative announced today, Animoca Brands Japan affirms its commitment to serve as a bidirectional bridge between Japan and the world for the Web3 domain.
